Barcelona have been struggling recently, with just one win in their last eight La Liga matches. They are winless in four league games, including three home defeats. Valencia, on the other hand, are unbeaten in four consecutive matches as they fight to avoid relegation.
The reverse fixture earlier this season saw Barcelona win 2-1 away, with both teams finding the net. A high-scoring affair is expected again, as last season’s meeting at this venue ended in a 4-2 Barcelona victory.
