Valencia vs FC Barcelona

Valencia
Valencia lost 2-1 away to Alaves on the last match day. They have failed to win seven of their last ten games, and their only home victory in the past two months was in the Copa del Rey. So far, the team have won only seven times in the whole season, one of the few teams that have remained winless in the League.

FC Barcelona
Barcelona drew 2-2 with Espanyol in last week's away game. Just before that, they remained unbeaten in 12 games after beating defending champion Atletico Madrid 4-2 at home. Since October, their only away defeat was against Bayern in the Champions League. The team currently occupy fourth place in the table - being chased by defending champion Atletico Madrid - both sides rank fifth in the table with the same points.

Prediction
The last meeting between these tow sides on this field ended with Barcelona winning 2-3. Xavi’s men are one of the only three teams in the league that have remained unbeaten in the past five games. Therefore, a clean sheet is too much to expect from Barcelona.


Pick: BTTS (Both Teams To Score)

Valencia vs Barcelona

Valencia will be hoping to return to winning ways following the 2:1 La Liga defeat last time out to Alaves. The hosts have been searching for a win for the previous six rounds. That poor run saw them declining to 12th place, being nine points behind their upcoming rivals. It’s been seldom in recent games that Valencia has shown defensive steel. The reality is that Valencia has seen their defense breached in five of their previous six clashes, shipping eight goals during that time. The home side still doesn’t give up on the continental qualification, but they need to start winning as soon as possible.

In the previous round, Barcelona played a draw away against Espanyol 2:2. However, the visitors stayed level with Atletico Madrid on 4^th spot. Looking at the form, Barcelona has scored in 5 of the last six games, and the opponents have scored a total of 11 goals. In defense, Barcelona is not doing very well. By entering this match, Barcelona is undefeated in the last eight away matches in the league. What a good series they put together. On the other hand, Barcelona boss Xavi Hernández has to choose a team with limited availability. Memphis Depay (Achilles tendon problems), Clément Lenglet (Hamstring Injury), Ansu Fati (Hamstring Injury), Sergi Roberto (Hamstring Injury), and Samuel Umtiti (Fractured Toe) are not able to play.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction                                                                            

Valencia is not in good momentum, and the hosts failed to win three times in a row in front of their fans. However, Barcelona struggles on the road, as they won only three times on 12 outings this season. Barca is coming after a tough game against Napoli in the Europa League, and we won’t be surprised if Valencia stays undefeated in this one.

Goals Market Prediction

The home side has been involved in many efficient matches at Estadio de Mestalla, and BTTS Yes cashed nine times on the previous 11 occasions. Since Barcelona also concedes a lot on the road, we don’t think either team will keep the clean sheet here. 

Valencia AH +0.5 @ 1.90

BTTS Yes @ 1.65

Correct score 1:1 @ 6.50

Real Betis and Mallorca will fight for Spanish La Liga Round 25 at Manuel Ruiz de Lopera on Sunday.

Real Betis
They win over Zenit St. Petersburg at 3-2 in last game of UEFA Europa League, getting a three-match winning streak. Although they have a busy schedule in these days, they make a good arrangement thanks to their deep bench and a considerate manager.

Mallorca
They defeat Athletic Bilbao at 3-2 in last game, getting a two-match winning streak. Now they rank the sixteenth in the table of the League, with six points away from relegation zone. But they do not play well as guest, with just 18% winning percentage.

Verdict:
There is no doubt that Real Betis are better than Mallorca. What’s more, Real Betis have home advantage. And Mallorca are weak in away games. So Real Betis are more likely to win in the coming game.

FT Score: 2-1, 3-1, 2-2
