Barcelona vs Valladolid Prediction & Betting tips
Game with a clearly favorable forecast for Barcelona, although in these post-stoppage matches teams with many internationals tend to drop their performance. In spite of everything and although Valladolid is managing to score in most of their last games, I think that Barcelona will secure the 3 points on this day.
Barcelona:
Barcelona arrives chaining a streak of 18 consecutive games without losing in the Santander League (15 wins and 3 draws), a spectacular dynamic in which we can highlight that they have only scored points by drawing at home against Cadiz (1-1) Eibar (1-1) and Valencia (2-2). So if he wins this weekend there will be a full ‘lap’ without knowing defeat.
As a local, Barcelona has been linking 11 games in a row without losing (8 wins and 3 draws), results that allow them to face this day 4 points away from the leadership of Atlético Madrid (1st) and knowing that the rojiblanco team has on this day a complicated duel away from home against Sevilla. He is also aware that on the next round he will play ‘El Clasico’ against Real Madrid where a large part of his chances of being champion will be played.
Regarding the line-up, Barcelona will have the losses of Philippe Coutinho [meniscus surgery] and Ansu Fati [meniscus tear]; as well as the doubts of Gerard Pique [knee sprain] and Neto [ankle sprain].
Valladolid:
Valladolid arrives having drawn in 3 of their last 4 Liga Santander matches (1 victory), an unbeatable dynamic in which they have beaten Getafe (2-1) and in which they have mostly drawn at home (1-1 vs Sevilla) and out of it (0-0 vs Osasuna / 1-1 vs Celta). He had previously linked 7 consecutive duels without winning (3 draws and 4 losses).
As a visitor, Valladolid has drawn in 6 of their last 8 games (1 victory and 1 loss), results that are allowing them to stay out of the relegation places and with up to 4 points ahead of Eibar (18th) and Alaves (19th). Therefore, scoring on this day would be key to their salvation aspirations for this season.
As for the line-up, Valladolid will have the casualties of Raul Garcia C. [knee injury], Jota Neves [ankle sprain] and Fabián Orellana [accumulation of cards]; as well as the doubts of Kiko Olivas [knee injury], Shon Weissman [contusion], Pablo Hervias [torn meniscus] and Marcos Andre [surgery for pubalgia].
