BARCELONA V VALENCIA ODDS HERE!
Recent Form
It certainly hasn’t been the start that Ernesto Valverde would’ve been looking for, as Barcelona have succumbed to defeat and a stalemate at Bilbao and Osasuna respectively, but fortunately they’ve won their only fixture at Nou Camp 5-2 over Real Betis.
That means they’ve given Atletico Madrid a five-point head start this campaign already, while fortunately Real Madrid have also been struggling with just five points to their name.
Meanwhile, like their hosts, Valencia have also gone W1-D1-L1 from their opening three matches, with their points all coming on home turf at the Mestalla, as they lost 1-0 away at Celta Vigo.
Messi Has Been Missed
A huge factor of this poor start for Barcelona has to be down to the absence for the majority of key attackers, with Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele featuring just once and Leo Messi yet to play.
Of course, they’re going to be worse without arguably the best player in the world, as their win percentage drops from 78% in the 161 matches with him starting since 2014/15 to just 53% in the 32 without him.
However, if we look their home games alone in this time, then we can see that they’ve still won 75% of their 12 such matches in this time period without him and so they’re more than capable of still getting the job done, especially since both he and Suarez could well return to the bench for this clash to play some part.
Barcelona To Win
Los Che were second only to the Catalan giants last term on away points earned, though they still lost two of three winless trips to the ‘Big Three’. In fact, they’ve lost seven of their nine such matches since 2016/17 as seven saw more than two strikes and four with more than three.
The hosts have now won 12 of their last 13 unbeaten outings at Nou Camp, including each of their last eight. Given they put five past a respectable Betis outfit without any of those aforementioned attackers, they look good value for the win.
Antoine Griezmann To Score Anytime
Antoine Griezmann looked an astute signing given his credentials down the years and he has been leading the line well so far.
The French international netted a brace and got an assist on debut in front of the home fans and given he also has five goals from his last six against Valencia for his old club, as well as two assists, he looks a solid bet to add to that tally.
Antoine Griezmann Anytime At 8/11
