Match Predict – Draw
Barça are finding it very difficult in their away games, on many occasions they take the lead, but they can’t cope with the opposition pressure and end up conceding. In a stadium like Mestalla, where the fans support their team a lot, and despite the fact that Valencia are not in good form either, we think the match could end up in a draw.
Correct Score – Valencia 1-1 FC Barcelona
Five of the six draws at Mestalla Stadium have been draws with goals and considering that defence is the weak point of both teams, we think that this match could end with both teams scoring a goal.
Handicap Draw -1 goal Valencia
If we had to give a prediction other than a draw, we see Valencia as favourites to win this match, for the simple fact that they are the home side for this match. So, we think it would be a good Handicap to deduct a goal from them so that the match could end in a possible draw.
Preliminary review and match prediction for Valencia vs FC Barcelona
Valencia’s season has been really irregular, a team that was expected to be more solid defensively, however, in every game they transmit a great insecurity and conceding many easy goals. In fact, Valencia is, along with Cadiz, the team that has conceded the most goals, with 38 goals in 24 games.
Valencia’s most repeated result so far has been a 1-1 draw. A result that has happened on four occasions.
Between the 81st and 90th minute is the period when there are the most total goals in Valencia matches, with 17 of the 74 total goals scored.
In their last game, against Espanyol, Barça again showed their worst version, something that is almost a habit in their away games, as they become a team with a lot of insecurities that does not know how to manage the results in their favour and finally end up drawing or losing.
Luuk De Jong once again gave Xavi Hernandez’s team a point, the Dutch player has become a very good option for games where Barça are behind on the scoreboard and they start to play with crosses into the box, and there is where De Jong is very difficult for opponents to defend.
Safe Bets
We think it will be a hard fought and it is evenly matched, so we think that in the first half there will not be many chances for either side, so that after 30 minutes of play the score will still be a draw. This bet has odds of 1.67 at William Hill.

— Valencia CF (@valenciacf) February 17, 2022
Barça will be without Gerard Piqué and Dani Alves through suspension, while Ansu Fati, Moussa Wague, Samuel Umtiti and Alejandro Baldé are out through injury. Memphis Depay, Ronald Aruajo, Clement Lenglet and Sergi Roberto could be back with the squad for this game.
Starting Lineups
Valencia: Mamardashvili, Gayá, Diakhaby, Alderete, Thierry, Guillamón, Carlos Soler, Bryan Gil, Foulquier, Guedes, Hugo Duro.
FC Barcelona: Ter Stegen, Alba, Eric García, Mingueza, Dest, Busquets, De Jong, Pedri, Gavi, Traoré, Ferrán Torres.
Highlighted Player
Gonzalo Guedes
With the absence of Piqué, Dani Alves and the possible absence of Araujo, Barça would have no choice but to field Eric García, Mingueza and Dest, three players who are not at all confident, especially in an atmosphere like the one at Mestalla. For this reason, we think that a player like Guedes, very skilful with the ball and being very quick, can generate a lot of danger in this match.
