Team News

Barcelona
Valencia
  • Marc-Andre ter Stegen is absent with a knee injury, removing any doubt that Jasper Cillessen will hold his place as Barcelona's cup goalkeeper.
  • Luis Suarez is sidelined due to injury, which paves the way for Lionel Messi to lead the line with support from Philippe Coutinho and Malcom.
  • Clement Lenglet and Sergi Roberto should be preferred to Samuel Umtiti and Nelson Semedo in defence for the favourites.
  • Marcelino doesn't have many selection concerns, with only Denis Cheryshev missing out with a knee injury.
  • Ezequiel Garay has recovered from injury and should partner Gabriel Paulista at centre-back.
  • Cristiano Piccini should feature ahead of Daniel Wass at right-back, while Geoffrey Kondogbia has recovered from a long-term injury for the final in Seville.

Prediction

  • Barcelona didn't finish their league season in the strongest of fashion, as Eibar's high-intensity approach saw Valverde's side drop points at Ipurua.
  • Both of the LaLiga games between Valencia and Barcelona ended in draws this season, meaning that the Copa del Rey final should be a very tightly contested affair.
  • Valencia ended their league season with three consecutive victories and will fancy their chances of causing an upset on Saturday evening.
