Barcelona v Valencia Betting Tips [15 September 2019]
The match
Barcelona (11th, four points) will hope that the international break changes their fortunes when they resume their La Liga campaign with a game against Valencia (tenth, four points) at Camp Nou. It is still early days, but the hosts are already five points behind league leaders Atletico Madrid. That is largely due to the absence of Lionel Messi and the horror start they had – W1, D1, L1. With a very crucial month ahead that includes matches against Borussia Dortmund, Inter Milan, Getafe and Sevilla, Barcelona would be keen to get back on track with a win in this fixture. However, they couldn’t get past Valencia last season (D2, L1) drawing both their league games and losing in the Copa del Rey. Valencia also have the same record as Barca this season (W1, D1, L1), with a 2-0 win over Mallorca in the previous fixture before the international break. All three of Valencia’s league fixtures this season have produced under 2.5 match goals. Interestingly, each of Valencia’s last eight La Liga away games have seen a win or loss for Valencia. With nine of their last 13 La Liga away games producing goals at both ends, the visitors look set for another game of action.
Key Statistics
- Both teams scored in nine of last 11 H2Hs in all competitions.
- Barcelona have scored at least two goals in 14 of their last 16 La Liga home matches.
- Barcelona have won their last eight La Liga home matches.
- Valencia have scored at least two goals in four of their last five La Liga away matches.
The bet of our experts
Barcelona will be desperate for a win, as another loss would mean they lose further ground to leaders Atletico Madrid. However, the potential absence of Messi puts their thoughts in a doubt. The poor recent defensive performances of Barcelona mean they are prone to conceding once again in this fixture. Valencia will take heart from what they have achieved against Barcelona last season in all competitions. That might mean a gritty performance and don’t be surprised if the visitors pick up a point from this game.
