Barcelona, Recent FormAny Barcelona pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 1-0 away defeat by Almería. In that game they had 72% possession and managed 13 attempts on goal, with 1 on target, compared to Almería who had 6 attempts and 4 on target.
Manager Xavi Hernández will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 2 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 9 goals. A number of teams visiting Spotify Camp Nou have struggled to break through on goal this season so far with the home side having kept 10 clean sheets. Few teams have managed to keep Blaugrana away from their goal, having scored in all but 2 of their games this season.
They have been performing well at Spotify Camp Nou recently and are unbeaten in their last 11 home games.
On an individual basis, Robert Lewandowski will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 15 goals in Barcelona's 23 league games this season.
Valencia, Recent FormConfidence will be high amongst the Valencia players after their welcome 1-0 home win last time out against Real Sociedad. They achieved 37% possession in that match and had 8 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Real Sociedad's tally of 11 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
Having scored just 2 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Rubén Baraja where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table, although he will still have one eye on his defence which have shipped 7 in the same period. Despite winning their last league game there have been some concerning signs recently, with them having failed to score in 4 of their last 6, so the fans will be hoping they have turned a corner. They have not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches.
Valencia will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form on the road. They've lost their last 5 league games in a row away from home and not recorded a win on their travels in 7 games.
On an individual basis, Edinson Cavani will be looking to cause Barcelona some problems having scored 2 goals in Valencia's last 6 away games in the league.
It was no surpirise that the last time these two teams met Barcelona came out on top, winning the match 0-1.
Barça have scored in each of their last 18 games at home in the league against Los Che. In their last 3 away league games against Blaugrana, Valencia have conceded a total of 10 goals and that's an average of 3.33 per game.
Barça will be looking to continue their winning streak against Valencia, having won each of the last 4 times they have met in the league and being unbeaten in their last 5 meetings.
Barça manager Xavi Hernández has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ousmane Dembélé (Muscle), Ansu Fati (Knee) and Pedro Pedri (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Rubén Baraja has a number of injury concerns in his Valencia squad to contend with: Marcos André (Ankle), Edinson Cavani (Muscle), Jaume Doménech (Cruciate ligament), José Gayà (Arm) and Nico González (Foot)
