Barcelona - Valencia predictions

With the odds set at 1.25 for a home win, Barcelona winning is clearly the most likely outcome in this matchup. Bigger upsets have happened, of course, but we wouldn’t expect anything but a decisive home win.

From the current viewpoint, the situation is straightforward. Given the strength of Barcelona and the fact that Valencia are given 10.95 odds to win, it is easy to see that an Valencia victory would be a shocking surprise.

Barcelona did as expected and took a first-half lead in the last round of the La Liga against Rayo Vallecano. However, they failed to maintain the result and were forced to settle for what turned out to be an unexpected 1:1 away draw.

Pre-match betting odds for Valencia’s previous La Liga outing were set at 3.69, meaning it could have ended either way. However, they ended up dominating their opponents Getafe and decisively snagging a 3:0 HT/FT home win.

The last few times we saw these two teams clash, Blaugrana proved their dominance time and time again. They recorded several decisive victories over the course of the previous La Liga season, and they never failed to win with at least a 2-goal difference.

This Sunday, both teams will have a full roster available to them, thanks to the absence of injuries or suspensions.

To balance out this match, we suggest taking a -1.5 Asian Handicap on the obvious favourites in this game. This should increase your returns substantially while still keeping things relatively risk-free.
