In the history of duels between the two teams, Valencia have lost their last 5 matches in La Liga against Barca. Valencia’s last victory over Barca in La Liga occurred in January 2020 with a score of 2-0. Here are some interesting facts to pay attention to.
Valencia, who are currently 11th in the La Liga standings, have won 5, drawn 4 and lost 7 of their first 16 matches in La Liga this season. They have lost 3 of their last 4 matches in La Liga, getting only 1 point.
Valencia have lost 1-2 to Girona and 0-1 to Getafe in their last two matches. Valencia finished 16th in La Liga last season, their worst position since relegation in the 1985/86 season. Valencia will be without Jose Gaya and Andre Almeida due to injury, as well as Gabriel Paulista and Javi Guerra due to suspension.
On the other hand, Barcelona, the defending champions of La Liga, are currently in 4th place in the standings, with a difference of 7 points from leaders Girona. Barcelona have dropped points in 6 of their 16 matches in La Liga this season.
Barcelona cannot afford to make any more mistakes in La Liga, if they want to stay in the race for the title. For this reason, Barcelona is expected to be strengthened by Frenkie de Jong again after illness, but Inigo Martinez, Marcos Alonso, Gavi and Marc-Andre ter Stegen are absent due to injury.
Barca are favored to get full points in this match. However, Xavi Hernandez must remind his troops to be careful because their performance has been less consistent recently.
The reason is, Valencia, even though it is in a lower position in the standings, namely 11th with 19 points, has the potential to provide a surprise.
