Valencia vs Barcelona Match Preview

For the 12th matchday of the Spanish La Liga, Valencia welcomes Barcelona to the Mestalla.

Valencia are coming off a bad run as they were beaten 2-1 by Mallorca at the Mestalla last week. It was quite difficult to create dangerous chances in the opponent's goal, however, they took the lead at the start of the second half. However, the next minutes were not similar as in the 66th minute they conceded the equalizer while in the 83rd minute they conceded a second goal and lost the match.
Thus they lost an unbeaten streak of 5 matches and at the end of the 11th matchday Valencia were in 9th place in the standings with 15 points.

Second consecutive win for Barcelona in the league, last Sunday they crushed Athletic Bilbao 4-0 at No Camp. They entered impressively from the start of the match and managed to score 3 times in a 10' period and essentially clean up the game. In the second half, changed some players, but found another goal, giving dimensions of triumph to their victory.
With these three points they reached 28 points, having a record of 9 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss and are in 2nd place in La Liga.
Midweek, however, for the 5th matchday of the UEFA Champions League, they were easily defeated by Bayern Munich 3-0 and were disqualified from the competition, they will now continue in the Europa League.

Very interesting match between two quality teams. Valencia at home are always competitive and set a fast pace in their games. Barcelona on their domestic side are strong and reliable. With these data, I think we will see a game with many chances and goals. My choice is Over 2.5 at odds of 1.60
