Barcelona eye victory away against Valladolid in 2018/19 La Liga

Barcelona are set to play Valladolid on Saturday night in La Liga as the season moves ahead. Barca go into this game as the favourites.

Kick-off : 10:15 PM (Local)

Venue : Estadio Jose Zorrilla

Barcelona won their opening game of 2018/19 La Liga and will be in a positive frame of mind. Barca defeated Alaves 3-0 at the Camp Nou.

In Valladolid they have got opponents next that are manageable and they will fancy their chances of another maximum points. Although complacency is a thing they should avoid.

Barcelona have their next three games against Huesca, Real Sociedad and Girona. So a lot of chances to get to a solid start to the season.

On the other hand, Valladolid drew their opening game against Girona and had a fine start to the season. But they now play giants Barcelona, which is a tough game.

They will have to be at their best and hope for the best. Valladolid play Getafe next away.

Barcelona have a good record against Valladolid and will look to continue the good work.

Team news and possible line-ups

Valladolid will likely play the same XI as in the previous game.

As for Barca, Philippe Coutinho is available and will likely play. While Denis Suarez and Jasper Cillessen will not be available as due to injury.

Valladolid XI : Masip, Moyano, Calero, Olivas, Nacho, Alcaraz, Borja, Mohamed, Villa, Plano, Keko.

Barcelona XI : Ter Stegen, N. Semedo, G. Pique, S. Umtiti, J. Alba, I. Rakitic, S. Busquets, P. Coutinho, L. Messi, L. Suarez, O. Dembele.

Prediction

It should be a good game as both teams will give their all but certainly Barcelona have the edge. I expect them to win this game 3-0. The goalscorers might be Lionel Messi, Philippe Coutinho and Luis Suarez.
