Barcelona vs Valladolid

Sports news - Get €5 FreeBet - After the weekend without any match because of the postponement of El Clásico for certain security reasons, Barcelona have finally come back to action in La Liga with their important match against Valladolid at Camp Nou. Due to the weekend off Barça are in second place (technically) behind surprising leaders Granada, right now the table is still not real, and a lot of changes are expected after today’s matches. The real table is supposed to be based on the points lost rather than won until Madrid and Barça play in December since both the teams have a game in their hand now. And on the points lost we still have the two main rivals in Spain in first and second place, so that would be the real table we are looking for the next seven weeks.

And to stay in first place in this real table, Barça must portray the best performance and keep winning the games. This week is complicated with two tougher games, including one on the road, as compared to Madrid’s two home matches against teams in the relegation zone, so there can’t be any messing around and taking teams for granted only because they don’t sound hard.

Valladolid have also been strong throughout the season and like most of the teams in La Liga aren’t that worried of Barça, believing that they can win the match at Camp Nou. Ernesto Valverde may do some changes in the team with four games over the next 12 days until the international break, but the side playing on Tuesday should be adequate to win and not have much trouble.

Somewhat nervous for this match since Valladolid are good and could trouble Barcelona if they decide to win, but Barcelona generally do well at home against mid-table teams: 3-0 to the home team.
