Barcelona vs Valencia Odds
Barcelona Team News
All of Barcelona’s hopes for securing consecutive LaLiga titles were shaken after their 3-2 defeat to Real in the previous round, in the El Clasico at the Santiago Bernabeu. Despite being the superior side for much of the match and even holding a goal advantage on two occasions, Real Madrid managed to equalize through Lucas Vazquez’s goal in the 73rd minute, and then Jude Bellingham secured a last-minute victory for his team.
Now trailing their biggest rival by a significant eleven points, their chances of defending the title have significantly diminished. However, the recent twist in the tale with coach Xavi changing his decision to leave the club at the end of the season offers a glimmer of hope and potential motivation for the team in the remaining matches.
What could inject the necessary dose of optimism into Barcelona ahead of their upcoming clash on Monday night is their excellent record in previous encounters with Valencia. They have remained unbeaten in their last seven matches against Valencia, securing five wins and two draws during that period.
Valencia Team News
On the other hand, Valencia narrowly escaped relegation in the previous competitive season and faced a tough start to the 2023/24 campaign. Despite lingering in the lower third of the table for a considerable period, Ruben Baraja’s team managed to turn things around when it mattered most.
Their recent ascent has propelled them into the upper reaches of the table, with just two defeats in their last eight matches, along with three wins and three draws. Currently sitting in eighth place in LaLiga with 47 points, six rounds before the end, they are just one point behind the position that secures European qualification for the next season.
Following crucial victories in their last two away fixtures against Granada and Osasuna, both ending in identical 0-1 scores, Valencia suffered a setback in the previous round, losing 1-2 at home to Betis. This match represented a direct battle for qualification to the Conference League.
Barcelona vs Valencia H2H

Valencia: Mouctar Diakhaby, Jose Gaya and Roman Yaremchuk are injured.
Barcelona vs Valencia Prediction
With Girona’s away victory against Las Palmas on Saturday, they have jumped ahead of Barcelona in the standings, claiming the second spot. However, Barcelona will have the opportunity to reclaim their position as early as Monday, but they cannot afford another loss in LaLiga.
As mentioned in the analysis, Barcelona has been quite dominant in previous encounters with Valencia. It’s worth noting that in the last six out of seven matches where Barcelona hosted, both teams scored, including their clash at Mestalla in mid-December (1-1).
Considering the current form of both teams, this combination seems like a promising choice for their upcoming showdown.
