Our Valencia vs. Barcelona predictions expect the Spanish giants to win but it may not come without conceding to the home side.
Barcelona has owned this matchup and should certainly win again on Saturday but we're not so sure they'll keep a clean sheet with young, inexperienced midfielders on the pitch.Valencia hopes to rebound from a rough La Liga campaign from a season ago when they host Barcelona on Saturday.
Neither of these teams come into Saturday’s match with a fully fit squad, and the absences are significant on both sides. That presents an opportunity for us to cash in on what should be a clash of contrasting styles and plenty of chances for mistakes. In addition, star defender Ronald Araujo is still injured. That means playing the high line becomes even riskier, especially when Barcelona turns the ball over. It’s a big reason the Catalan side conceded eight goals in their four preseason fixtures.
Three of Valencia’s last four friendlies featured 3+ goals with scoring from both teams, and only Barcelona’s recent 3-0 loss to Monaco saw them fail to match that feat. Barcelona has plenty of attacking firepower with Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Lamine Yamal leading the line, and I expect they’ll find the back of the net more than once.
