Barcelona vs Valencia Prediction, 02:00 September 15: Breaking the bat's wings

Valencia is Barcelona's favorite "prey".

Pre-match comments Barcelona vs Valencia

Barcelona will return to their home ground in this round to welcome Valencia in the context that both teams are in dire need of points for their own goals. After the unfortunate draw against Rayo Vallecano, Hansi Flick's team lost their winning streak and fell to fourth place in the rankings. That makes the pressure to win all three points against Valencia greater than ever.

In fact, Barcelona is still considered superior in both strength and overall performance. Although sometimes unstable, the Catalan team still possesses a powerful attack and a familiar dominant style of play at home.

On the opposite side, Valencia just had an impressive 3-0 victory over Getafe, helping them relieve some of the pressure after a series of unstable matches. However, if looking at both last season and the beginning of this season, Valencia's biggest weakness is their ability to play away from home. The fluctuation in away form has caused the "Bats" to drop important points many times, and that is what makes it difficult for them to create surprises on this away trip.

The history of confrontation is also in favor of Barcelona. In recent seasons, the Catalan team often had big wins against Valencia. This psychological factor further strengthens the belief of Flick and his team in the goal of winning all 3 points. The match between Barcelona and Valencia promises to be an exciting match, where the home team is determined to regain its winning streak to continue chasing the leading group, while Valencia wants to prove that they are capable of causing trouble for any opponent.
