Barcelona vs Valladolid Predictions

• Barcelona are on a run of one defeat in their last seven La Liga outings
• Real Valladolid have picked up just one point from their opening two games
• Barcelona have won 14 of the last 15 meetings between the two sides

Barca hoping to press on

Barcelona’s preparations for this game have included a friendly at Camp Nou against Manchester City on Wednesday night, a match that finished 3-3 with Memphis Depay among the scorers.

That followed on from a 4-1 hammering at Real Sociedad and 0-0 draw with Rayo Vallecano in La Liga, meaning they have lost just one of their last seven league outings.

Xavi’s side also have a staggering head-to-head record with Real Valladolid, winning 14 of the last 15 outings and keeping clean sheets in six of the last seven.

Tough assignment for newly promoted Valladolid

Real Valladolid have picked up just one point from their opening two games in La Liga after a one year absence, drawing 1-1 at Sevilla after a 3-0 thrashing at the hands of Villarreal in their opening game.

Their away form last season was strong, but in their previous campaign in the top flight they went ten games without a victory on the road.

To make matters worse, they will be without Jawad El Yamiq for this game after he got sent off at Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán last weekend.

I predict that Barcelona will win this game to nil, selecting 2-0 as a correct score prediction.
