Barcelona – Valladolid: prediction and betting odds 2.14
Barcelona
Last season, Barcelona failed to win a single trophy, and only at the end of the season found their game. For 38 rounds of the last championship, Xavi’s wards chalked up 21 wins and 10 peaceful outcomes, which corresponds to 73 points and the second position in the standings.
In addition, the team eventually reached the second position in La Liga in terms of performance – 68 times the Catalans hit the opponents’ goal. The team’s performances in the Spanish Cup and the Champions League ended unsuccessfully, where for the first time in recent years the Catalans could not get into the playoffs. At the same time, they advanced to the Europa League, where another disappointment awaited the fans of the team.
In the quarter-finals of the tournament, Barcelona were unable to cope with Eintracht, who went on to win the trophy. Over the summer, a serious landing came to the team in the person of Robert Lewandowski, Rafinha and Kunde, for whom the club’s management paid more than 150 million. In two rounds, the team recorded four points in the asset – a draw and success in the last round with Real Sociedad.
Valladolid
Last season, Valladolid managed to please their fans – the team recorded 24 wins and nine draws, which brought 81 points and the second final place in the standings. In addition, Valladolid pleased with the performance – the team scored 71 times.
At the same time, in the first round of the new La Liga tournament, Valladolid could not oppose anything to Villarreal (0:3), after which Valladolid got the first tournament points in the confrontation with Sevilla – this match ended in a draw (1:1). The line of attack looks very sad, which differed only once in the last five games. El Yamik, Plata and Weissman, who has a muscle injury, will not be able to take part in the fight today.
