Valencia vs Barcelona Prediction & Betting tips
Estadio de Mestalla will host on Saturday evening from 20:30, the confrontation between Valencia and FC Barcelona, a match that is part of the first round of the new season in LaLiga, Spain. The two teams offered two beautiful matches last season when the round match, which was also played in Valencia, ended in a tie, score 1-1, after which the return match at Camp Nou ended with Barcelona’s victory, score 4-2. In 2020, it was the last victory of those from Valencia, score 2-0 at home, this being the only victory in the last ten confrontations.
Valencia:
Valencia had a good season in the previous season, but missed the qualification for the European Cups, ranking 9th with 49 points. Valencia could be ranked higher, but had a nightmare end to the season, accumulating only two points in the last seven rounds. Valencia played no less than seven friendly games during the training period this summer, registering two wins, two draws and three defeats. In terms of transfers, Valencia did not excel, preferring to bring players free of contract or on loan. In the next match, Valencia will play away on Celta Vigo’s field.
Barcelona:
On the other hand, Barcelona starts a new season with a new coach on the bench, the German Hansi Flick. The premature elimination from the UEFA Champions League as well as the loss of any trophy and the 2nd place at the end were decisive for not extending the contract with Xavi who lasted only two seasons on the Barcelona bench. Barcelona played only five friendly games during the training period, managing a victory against rival Real Madrid with 2-1, but surprised in the last friendly match when they were defeated 3-0 by AS Monaco. Barcelona brought only one important player this summer, managing to transfer Dani Olmo from RB Leipzig for 55 million euros, but it seems that at the moment they will not be able to use him. The next opponent of Barcelona will be Athletic Bilbao.
