Match Preview: Valencia vs Barcelona
Valencia had a drastic pre-season, as they won only one of their six friendly matches. They lost against Alaves and settled for a draw against Levante. Los Ches succumbed to a 2-1 defeat to English Championship side, Leeds United before they ended their pre-season with a tight 3-2 win over Eintracht Frankfurt. We doubt if they can start their new season unbeaten.
Barcelona didn’t have the best pre-season either, as they wrapped their friendlies with a scratch on the head following a 3-0 loss to Monaco. The Catalans won just once in their four friendly matches, and that was against Champions League champions, Real Madrid (2-1). Barca will hope they start the season with a win.
Valencia vs Barcelona Prediction
We predict Barcelona will win 2-1. Valencia head into this game in low spirits, thanks to their poor form in pre-season. They won just once in six games, so what are the chances they start the new campaign with a win over Barca? We expect both teams to fight for the game, but a tight win for the visitors looks feasible.
BTTS – YES/NO Prediction
Both teams scored in three of Valencia’s last five friendly matches, and Valencia kept just one clean sheet in a goalless draw, while both teams scored in three of Barca’s four friendly matches. Both teams are struggling at the back, so we predict both teams will score – yes for the Valencia vs Barcelona match.
