Valencia v Barcelona Team News

8 wins in 20 matches. That has been Albert Celades' performance so far and currently, they sit just outside 6th place behind the leading pack by just a point off European football prospects next season.

An interesting duel awaits as Valencia haven't lost at home this season after 10 games (W5 D5 L0), while they have the worst defence among the top ten teams. This shows a side with quite some back-line deficiencies which the visitors will be looking to exploit. Affairs between these two sides has always been full of action and we could well be in for a thrilling display.

Barcelona, on the other hand, are living up to their high expectations. The Catalan club is at the summit, tied on points with eternal rivals Real Madrid breathing down their neck. Pressure is on Barcelona, or not. They have their star man Lionel Messi firing from all cylinders. He is currently the league's top scorer and Leo was Barca's Messiah in last outing's slim 1-nil win over Granada.

It only takes a flash for the world's best player to claim all points for his Barcelona side. Should Valencia's back-line be caught napping, Messi will be there to punish their deficiencies. Will he prove the difference?

New coach Quique Setien has a perfect record so far and a win here will really add to their chances of defending their title. This is a ground Barcelona likes to take points from and they haven't come out without at least a point in 14 attempts.

Injured or Suspended Players:

Valencia will be missing out on Parejo D.(Red Card) and Piccini C.(Knee Injury).
