Valencia vs Barcelona Prediction and Betting Tips | 29th October 2022

The 2022-23 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Valencia host Xavi's Barcelona side in a crucial clash at the Estadio de Mestalla on Saturday.

Valencia vs Barcelona Preview

Barcelona are currently in second place in the La Liga standings but have largely failed all their big tests so far this season. The Catalan giants slumped to another humiliating defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich in their previous game and have a point to prove going into this clash.

Valencia, on the other hand, are in ninth place in the league table at the moment and have been fairly inconsistent this season. Los Che slumped to a disappointing 2-1 defeat at the hands of Mallorca in their previous game and will need to bounce back in this match.
