Barcelona hosts Valladolid in round 29 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Monday, April 5th at Camp Nou (Barcelona)
From the very start of the championship, the Dutch Koeman was engaged in a serious renewal of Barcelona and the restructuring of the tactical model of the Catalans' game. At first glance, Barça remained in the old formation, but in reality, the team moved to a 3-4-2-1 scheme, where the players must constantly move the ball forward. Barcelona failed to demonstrate a high result in the Champions League, where the team was stopped by the more harmonious and successful PSG. A definite plus for modern Barcelona is the gradual progress of talented youth - Fati (now injured), Pedri, Dembele, Mingueza, De Jong, Dest, and Araujo. It is still impossible to imagine the Catalan team without such footballers as Messi, Busquets, Alba, Pique, and ter Stegen. The ingenious Argentine is holding one of the best seasons in recent years - 23 goals and 10 assists.

Real Valladolid is not far from the relegation zone and may well say goodbye to the elite at the end of the tournament distance. But in the last four rounds, the team did not lose to its rivals and gained three draws and one victory over Getafe. Valladolid's game is built around defensive actions and a focus on counterattacks. The team has many experienced footballers who have been in the elite for more than one season. But Valladolid has practically no promising youth. The leading performers of the club are Orellana, Weissman, Plano, and Fernandez.
The upcoming confrontation promises to be interesting for fans of attacking football, which will be demonstrated by the hosts. Koeman's charges acted as efficiently as possible and demonstrated bright combination football in the last matches. Valladolid is unlikely to stop the drive of the Catalan machine, and the hosts will probably win with a difference of more than two goals.
Prediction for the match: Barcelona to win with -2.5 handicap
