Valencia vs Barcelona Prediction: Home Team Hope
Barcelona sits atop the La Liga table, having scored 12 goals in three matches, while only giving up two. Valencia have only scored once in that time, while giving up four. They are struggling to score while their defense is unsettled, giving up three in their last game alone.
Barcelona just signed Rodri for big money and hopes to add him to the roster for this game. Their two main injuries are Frenkie de Jong and Gavi. The only positive for Valencia is that they are playing at home.
Our Valencia vs Barcelona prediction is that Valencia gets at least one goal at home but isn’t able to keep Barcelona from scoring. The final score will be Valencia 2-4 Barcelona. Remember that you can follow us on our social media accounts to stay tuned for this La Liga season.
