Barcelona vs Valladolid prediction & free tip

Barcelona can continue their march to the championship against Madrid, with the bookies predicting a national number one match.

Although there has been a lot of fear for Barcelona this season, for the time being it looks like Real Madrid are the team that are struggling. With three straight 2-1 victories, the Catalans are 100 per cent in La Liga and top of the league, and after another Real points loss, they have now managed to open up a four-point lead over the defending champions. Hansi Flick’s debut is therefore far from what was expected, especially with the German coach still missing a lot of players and the squad still full of questions.

Team news Barcelona vs Valladolid

In the midweek meeting, the only major signing of the summer, Dani Olmo, finally got on the pitch and once there, he scored the winning goal and the man of the match award. Pedri, finally recovering from injury, also found the net, and Lewandowski would have continued his good run if VAR hadn’t taken his goal away.

Barcelona’s Araujo, De Jong, Gavi Andreas Christensen, Eric Garcia, Ansu Fati remain ailing and young Bernal is out for a long spell. Fermin Lopez could come into the squad in the latter’s place, while Olmo could start this time alongside Rapinha, Yamal and Lewandowski.

Valladolid are almost substitutable, with one or two players expected to miss out.

Free tip fo Barcleona vs Valladolid

We have always picked the same for the three Barcelona champions so far and all three of our picks have worked out. It was nothing more than a betting tip that covered a total of under 3.5 goals and a handicap of +1.5 for the opponents. The three 2-1 wins in the three games produced this.

These games show that Barca are not yet in top form, but they have the fighting spirit and will to fight, and a flash of individuality can help them in attack. This time, the Garnet and Blue are in for a good game, especially in front of their home crowd, the problem is that the bookmakers have priced the game in nicely.

In this line-up Valladolid have lost their last 9 games against Barcelona.

As it was a midweek game, the workload is a bit heavier than usual, which could cause some inconvenience. The handicap limits have been set at +/-1.75 by the bookies, which we wouldn’t really want to play either side.

Instead, we’ve looked at a home goalscoring tip, which is a 2-3 goal range at odds of 1.90.
