Marking their return from September’s international break on Sunday night, Barcelona will welcome Valencia to Catalonia.
While the defending La Liga champions might have been frustrated prior to the fortnight interval as they eventually had to settle for a 1-1 stalemate away at Rayo Vallecano, Barca will certainly be confident of laying down a marker here.
Although Valencia might have been last seen storming their way to a stellar 3-0 romp at home against Getafe, Los Ches hold a woeful recent record against the Spanish giants and couldn’t have asked for a tougher challenge on their return from the early-season break.
In what could prove to be another lively La Liga showdown on Sunday night, we have taken a look at some of the most attractive Barcelona vs Valencia Bet Builder Tips.
Barca seeking an immediate response in Catalonia
While there might have been plenty of raised eyebrows last summer following the appointment of Hansi Flick, Barcelona have embarked on a sensational rise under the former Bayern Munich boss.
Storming their way to an historic 28th domestic crown, Saturday’s hosts have their sights firmly set on securing consecutive La Liga titles for the first time since 2019 this season.
Despite dropping a pair of points away at Rayo Vallecano last time out, Flick’s defending champions will be relishing their return to Catalonia on Sunday night.
While Barca might be forced to play their recent home fixtures at the Estadi Johan Cruyff, they do hold a dominant domestic record in Catalonia. In fact, the Spanish giants have suffered just a single La Liga defeat in front of their own supporters so far this calendar year.
Landing a stunning 5-0 victory when they last met Valencia back on February 6th, Flick’s superstar squad will be dreaming of a repeat performance here.

Yamal to steal all of the headlines again
While Lamine Yamal might have only turned 18 over the summer, the Spanish international is billed as a standout Ballon d’Or candidate this year and has only continued on from where he left off prior to the summer break.
With the comparisons to eight-time Ballon d’Or winner and Barca icon Lionel Messi there to see, Yamal has embarked on an historic rise to superstardom.
Now firmly the poster boy in Catalonia and almost universally regarded as the face of this new generation, the Catalonia talisman will be looking to extend on his dominant start.
Converting from the spot away at Rayo Vallecano prior to the fortnight break, Barca’s academy graduate has already registered four direct goal contributions in his first three La Liga appearances.
Likewise, it’s also worth highlighting that Yamal got on the scoresheet during Barcelona’s 5-0 victory against Los Ches back in February.

A monumental challenge for Los Ches
While Valencia might have eventually fell short in the race to book a top-half finish among Spain’s elite last season, Los Ches are certainly enjoying life under the former West Brom boss.
Heading into September’s international break with a thumping 3-0 victory at home against Getafe, Sunday’s guests have been tipped as a potential European dark horse this year.
However, hit with that routine 5-0 defeat in their most recent showdown against the defending Spanish champions, Valencia hold what is a nightmare record against Barca.
Coming under serious scrutiny on January 26th as they fell to an infamous 7-1 drumming in Catalonia, they have lost all of their previous four consecutive meetings across all competitions by an aggregate score of 18-4.
It should also be noted, facing what is a monumental challenge away from the Mestalla this weekend, Corberan’s side have failed to win any of their last 11 meetings (nine defeats, two draws).
