The game comes just three days after the home side were due to host Real Madrid in the El Classico but the match was chalked off due to some political crisis in Catalunya. With some demonstrations ongoing on the streets of Barcelona, the prospect of watching one of the biggest games so far this season was thwarted.

Now, the Blaugrana will be back in action right in front of the home crowd, gunning for maximum points and the Barcelonistas are expected to be in fine voice on the night.

Barcelona v Valladolid Team News

The home side should be heading into this game fresh and raring to go, having not featured in any match since their hard-fought win over Prague in the UEFA Champions League last week. Needless to say, Valverde’s men were very average on the night and could have easily been defeated by a resilient and determined Prague side.

Last time out in the league, Barcelona were totally outstanding with the likes of Lionel Messi, Antoine Griezmann and Luiz Suarez combining to see off Eibar. When Messi is at his best, every defense trembles and that was just the case at the Ipurua Municipal Stadium.

The Argentine maestro was the cream of the crop for the La Liga giants in that match, running at the defense through different channels and bagging a goal for himself to crown it all up. Eibar gave the game a fight as they refused to sit back and defend. They tried playing a high defensive line, a tactic which backfired in the end.

However, it will be a different ball game against Real Valladolid with the Basque minnows expected to allow the Catalans plenty of spaces to play in due to their high pressing tactics. The visitors will be happy to sit back and soak in the pressure while looking to break on the counter.

Manager Sergio Gonzalez tried this tactic against both of the Madrid giants, and it worked a treat as they avoided defeat against both teams. Valladolid fans will take confidence from this as they travel to the highly-dreaded Camp Nou.

The morale in the Valladolid dressing room is pretty good at the moment, with the team sitting comfortably in 8^th on the standings, following their latest victory over the weekend. There is not so much pressure within the Pucela camp to get a win against the hosts, given the stature of the opposition in question.

Barcelona lost their place at the summit of the table after Granada emerged victorious in their fixture over the weekend but will be keen to return to their traditional league position with a win against Pucela.

On home turf, the Blaugrana have been absolutely outstanding this term, winning all four of their games at Camp Nou, scoring nothing less than four goals in each of them. This is a pretty amazing feat, asserting their dominance in front of home crowd.

The visitors, on the other hand, can boast of one of the best defenses in the league this season. Putting this into consideration, the Catalans will have to lay blood and sweat on the pitch in order to salvage maximum points in this tie.

Injured or Suspended Players:

Barcelona: Umtiti, Roberto.

Valladolid: Ramirez.

Barcelona vs Valladolid Predictions

The visitors might not be one of the fanciest teams to watch in the league this season but have found a way to grind out results, even against the likes of Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid. They have one of the most resilient defenses and the hosts will have their work cut out in a bid to gain all three points.

However, with the quality of players the home side have at their disposal, count on Messi and co. to come out on top in this tie.
