The 2025-26 edition of LaLiga is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Valencia lock horns with Hansi Flick's Barcelona side in an important encounter at the Estadi Johan Cruyff on Sunday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes over the past year and will want to start off on a winning note.
Barcelona vs Valencia Preview
Valencia are in 11th place in the LaLiga standings and have not been at their best this season. The away side eased past Getafe by a 3-0 scoreline last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Barcelona, on the other hand, are in fifth place in the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive in recent months. The Blaugrana were held to a 1-1 draw by Rayo Vallecano in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
