For the 25th game of the Spanish La Liga, Valencia welcomes Barcelona at the Estadio de Mestalla.
Another bad result for Valencia for the championship, the previous match was defeated in Vitoria by Alaves with 2-1. Fair defeat for the bats as they did not have a good performance, they were left behind in the score from 14 ΄, they equalized at 62 ΄ with a well-aimed penalty kick but in the same way they conceded in 76 ΄ they conceded a second goal and did not take anything from the match.
Thus, Valencia reached the 6 consecutive matches without a win and now the goal of Europe became even more difficult as has dropped back to 12th place in the standings with 30 points.
Barcelona comes from a 2-2 draw in the Catalan derby, a result that leaves her with mixed feelings. It was the team that was ahead in the score with the first phase of the match, it had opportunities for a second goal but in the 40 χθηκε it accepted the draw. In the second half he was left behind in the score at 64 ΄ to finally manage in the last minute of the delays to equalize and save the defeat.
Having a record with Xavi on the bench 6 wins, 4 draws and just 1 loss Barcelona is in 6th place in the standings with 39 points and in minus 3 from the 4th Atletico which, however, has 2 more matches.
On Thursday night, the Blaugrana for the first match of the play offs of the Europa League drew 1-1 in Barcelona with Napoli and will claim the qualification next week in Italy.
Valencia has been ignoring the victory in the league for 6 games but at home it is always competitive. Barcelona for their part is definitely improved with Xavi on their bench but it is still difficult to trust them. I expect a match with goals and spectacle as they both like attacking football and score with ease.
