Prediction

  • Valencia have been in poor form of late with a 1-0 loss at Getafe extending their winless run in La Liga to four games. Los Che don't have a great home record against Barcelona either, losing their last three consecutive meetings with the Blaugrana at the Mestalla.
  • That being said, Barcelona haven't been particularly convincing themselves recently. Xavi watched on as his side lost 4-2 at home to Girona and then 3-2 to Royal Antwerp in midweek. They have failed to win in three on the road in all competitions, though do remain unbeaten on their travels in La Liga this season.
  • Valencia don't have a great home record this season and they struggle in front of goal at the Mestalla. Despite their struggles, Barcelona should have what it takes to eke out a win.

    @Marbella Also would be brainless to come in charge of that muppet team

    @Marbella I believe you are not serious. No way Xabi to coach Barca. It could be any team but Barca.
