Barcelona vs Valencia prediction
Barcelona had the chance to throw a spanner in the works as far as this season’s La Liga title race is concerned when they suited up to face league leaders Real Madrid at the Bernabeu last weekend. They lost 3-2 to Bellingham injury-time winner, for the second El Classico in a row, a result that almost effectively put to rest their little hopes of a title challenge with Los Bloncos now 11 points clear at the top with just 6 matches left to play. The Catalan giants haven’t thrown the towel in yet and will look to try and narrow that gap when they welcome Valencia in Monday’s La Liga fixture
Valencia have been in the thick of the race for Europa League places after a relatively solid outing this season. They hosted fellow Europa League contenders Betis at the Mestella with a chance to move close to the top 6 last weekend. They failed to make the most of their chances and ended up losing to Betis 2-1 who subsequently leap-frogged them into 7th place in the league. Coach Ruben Baraja will be hoping his troops can recollect themselves with this tough visit to Barcelona
This has been a favourable fixture for Barcelona in recent years. They have been in great form at home where they are unbeaten in the last 5 matches, winning 4 and drawing 1. We are backing them to keep this streak going as they try to stay in the fizzling title race. For this match, we are going for Barcelona to win with a -1 handicap as our main Barcelona vs Valencia prediction here
