Los Culés will try to add a third win to their current run in La Liga against a struggling Valencian side. Keep track of this game with our detailed guide.

What has been Barcelona and Valencia's form ahead of this game?

Barcelona make it to this game on a two-game winning streak in La Liga for the first time in over a month. Los Culés have won both of those games at home, which may be a good omen for their fans. A win for Los Blaugranas and a loss for Villarreal this weekend could propel Barcelona into the top four teams for the first time since the beginning of the season.

Valencia make it to this match with only one win in their last six La Liga matches. That game was surrounded by controversy, as they defeated Real Madrid thanks to three dubious penalties. Since then, Los Naranjeros have drawn three and lost one in the domestic competition, while also adding a scary outing in the 2020-21 Copa del Rey which saw them claim a 4-2 win in penalties against Terrassa.

What is Barcelona and Valencia's position in the ongoing La Liga season?

Barcelona will make it to this game in 5th place, with their record showing six wins, two draws and four losses. So far, the Blaugrana side has scored 23 goals, while their defense has conceded twelve times. Lionel Messi is the team's top scorer with five goals to his name.

Valencia enter Camp Nou Stadium in 12th place. The Valencian side has won three games, with five draws and five losses completing their tally. Los Naranjeros have scored as many goals as they have conceded (19), which might explain their poor performance in the competition. Carlos Soler is the team's top scorer with five goals, although most of them have come from the penalty kick spot.

Barcelona vs Valencia - Who's in and who's out?
