Barcelona will take on Valencia tomorrow in 2019/20 La Liga as the season moves ahead. Barca go into this game as the favourites.

Kick-off : 4:00 PM (Local)

Venue : Mestalla Stadium, Valencia

Barcelona have started well under new boss Quique Setien and they will like to keep on winning games moving ahead.

Barca are currently top of La Liga after 20 games with 43 points. The goal difference is +27.

Valencia away will be a testing game. Taking three points from the game will be crucial for Barca to be ahead in the title race.

It remains to be seen whether Setien will use the same tactics as against Granada or have a new approach in this away fixture. Anyways Barca will need to be solid at the back and be clinical in the final third.

On the other hand, Valencia are having an OK campaign and getting positive results will only be beneficial.

Los Ches are currently 7th in the table after 20 matches with 31 points. The goal difference is +1.

At home Valencia have an advantage and they will look to control things against a strong Barcelona side.

Winning is a different thing, they need to approach positively. Be able to keep a clean sheet and score to win. Albert Celades will not to decide on the tactics.

Team news and possible lineups

Cristiano Piccini, Goncalo Guedes and Manu Vallejo will all be not available for Valencia for the weekend game as due to injury.

While Dani Parejo is suspended and hence will be unavailable.

As for Barca, Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele will both be unavailable as due to injuries.

Valencia XI : Domenech, Wass, Paulista, Diakhaby, Gaya, Cheryshev, Kondogbia, Coquelin, Soler, Rodrigo, Gameiro.

Barcelona XI : Ter Stegen, Lenglet, Umtiti, Pique, Roberto, Busquets, De Jong, Rakitic, Alba, Griezmann, Messi.

Prediction

I expect Barcelona to pickup three points here. Maybe they will win 2-1.
