Valencia hosts Barcelona in round 34 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, May 2nd at Estadio de Mestalla (Valencia)
Valencia's problems are known, and nothing is changing for the better. The club's management unexpectedly fired the coach who won the Spanish Cup, financial difficulties began, and the owners sold off key players. Now the team is going through hard times. There were several victories, but this is more an accident than a trend. The Bats are on the 14th line of the Spanish Championship standings, with only six points ahead of the relegation zone. The Orange-and-Blacks couldn’t win five LaLiga matches in a row. Javi Gracia's charges failed to beat even Cadiz and Alaves. In the last match against the Glorious Ones, the players of Valencia won back in the last minutes (1-1). It seems that positive news should not be expected from the Bats.

Competitors in the fight for the champion’s title made several misfires, and Barcelona, which had one game in hand, managed to miss the chance to single-handedly lead the standings of the Spanish championship. The Catalans won the Spanish Cup (by the way, this is Ronald Koeman's first trophy at the helm of the team) and then gained two victories in LaLiga. But winning 1-0, they sensationally lost to Granada in the last round. And it happened at Camp Nou, where Barcelona rarely loses. Thus, we will observe the distribution of prizes in the 2020/21 season in the last rounds, as Barça will have an extremely important match against the leading Atletico Madrid. The problem is that even Sevilla has joined the battle for the first line.
Whatever state Valencia is in, this team is a tough opponent for all the top clubs in the Spanish championship, especially when it comes to the game at Mestalla. Let's add some statistics. If we take the last six head-to-head confrontations in three years, then the Catalans won only once. Let’s look at the most recent matches. At the end of the previous season, the Bats beat Barcelona with a clean sheet (2-0). As for the first head-to-head match of the current draw, the Catalans managed to tie with crisis-ridden Valencia at Camp Nou (2-2). Let's risk betting in favor of the Bats.
Prediction for the match: Valencia to win with +2.0 handicap
