Barcelona vs Real Valladolid Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 31st August 2024

A round 4 match awaits at a neutral venue between Barcelona and Real Valladolid on Saturday. Still reeling from coming so close to LaLiga glory last season, the hosts hope to continue their bid to go one better this term with a win in front of their home supporters.

Looking at the current standings in the LaLiga, the two teams are separated by five points.

Barcelona find themselves as number 1 in the league table with nine points from their first three matches this campaign. They are five points better off than Real Valladolid, who rank as number 11.

Barcelona will be looking to open a further gap in the table on Real Valladolid when clashing in the LaLiga this coming Saturday. The visitors will be eager to prevent exactly that from happening and they will surely want to keep tap on their upcoming opponent.

Barcelona show off very admirable numbers from their past ten matches, as they scored 2.3 goals on average per match. That makes a total of 23 goals, whilst they allowed 13 goals against, for an average of 1.3 per outing. They pulled off three clean sheets.

Real Valladolid scored seven goals, conceded 16 and kept their opponents from scoring four times in ten matches.

Barcelona were defeated by 3-1 in their last encounter with Real Valladolid, but did win the reverse match 4-0, though.

Barcelona vs Real Valladolid Prediction

Barcelona Form

Barcelona are enjoying their football currently with three wins on the bounce, and it began with a 1-2 win against Valencia. They went on to beat Athletic Club by 2-1, before also getting the better of Rayo Vallecano in a 1-2 victory. Barcelona swept all opposition aside in the six most recent LaLiga matches at their home ground. They won all six, adding 18 points to their account, whilst scoring 13 and conceding three goals.

A second place finish is the absolute minimum Barcelona should achieve this coming season where the main target is of course the title.

Real Valladolid Form

In their previous three matches, Real Valladolid beat Espanyol 1-0, lost 3-0 against Real Madrid and drew 0-0 with Leganes. Real Valladolid claimed just one win from the last six away games in the LaLiga. They also drew one and were defeated four times, as they were outscored by ten goals to four.

Barcelona would probably consider anything lower than at least a second place finish a disappointment. The hosts have one eye on a title challenge and know a good start is imperative.

Barcelona are far too strong to let a home win slip against Real Valladolid, but at the same time, we don't expect the visitors to get over-run. This makes us target the home win in a match with less than three goals.
