On Saturday night, Valencia and Barcelona go head-to-head at the Mestalla in La Liga.
Valencia
Los Che is enduring an inconsistent La Liga campaign and currently sits in 11th place in the table, having taken just 19 points from their 16 league games this season.
Ruben Baraja’s team heads into this game in poor form, as a 1-0 defeat at Getafe last time out means Valencia are winless in four Liga games, including three defeats and a draw.
The Getafe was another low-scoring game for Los Che, as five of their previous eight league games have produced under 2.5 goals in five of their last eight matches in La Liga.
Despite their recent poor run in the Spanish top-flight, Valencia has a decent recent home record in La Liga, winning three of their previous five league games at Mestalla while losing just once in the run.
Barcelona
The Catalan outfit suffered what could be a decisive 4-2 home defeat against top-four rivals Girona last time out. The defeat ended a four-game unbeaten run in the Spanish top-flight.
The defeat has seen Barcelona drop seven points behind Girona, who are top of the Spanish top-flight table.
Xavi’s team have a decent recent away record in the Spanish top-flight, as they are unbeaten in their previous seven league games.
A 1-1 draw at Rayo Vallecano in their last away game means that Barcelona have now drawn three of their last four Liga matches on their travels.
Their recent away games have been relatively high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in eight of their previous 11 Liga games on their travels.
What does Forebet predict?
