Valencia vs Barakaldo Betting Tips

Valencia survived a brief scare in the 1st leg when Alain Arroyo put the 3rd tier side in front. However João Cancelo, Jose Gaya and Dani Parejo hit back for the top flight outfit and we should see little drama here with Valencia holding a 2 goal advantage.

Barakaldo are top of their section in the Segunda B but there is an enormous gulf in class between that level and the top half of La Liga and they don’t come into this game in great form having drawn their last two in the league.

Clearly Neville can afford to make plenty of changes but it could still be a strong side he names. Valencia have a number of senior players coming back from injury who could get some much needed game time here and that could be bad news for Barakaldo. In addition the Englishman will be keen to get his first victory under his belt and restore some confidence to his side so don’t be surprised if there are still a number of recognisable names in the Valencia starting eleven.

Therefore a convincing Valencia win ought to be on the cards and they look really good value at 2.025 when starting with a -1.5 Asian handicap here.

Barakaldo will know the tie is already all but gone but will be keen to enjoy their evening at one of Spanish football’s great theatres. A similar outcome to the 1st leg is likely though and if you’re looking for a correct score bet consider backing Valencia to win 3-0 at 7/1.
