Team News

Barcelona
Real Valladolid
  • Barça suffered a blow with Marc Bernal's ACL injury, adding to their midfield woes. Key players like Gavi, Araújo, De Jong, and Christensen are also sidelined.
  • Eric García and Ansu Fati are doubtful. Flick may start Dani Olmo, while Casadó could replace Bernal.
  • Following heavy rotation, the visitors might opt for fresh legs. They recently signed Real Madrid's Mario Martín and Valencia's Cenk Ozkacar on loan.
  • Anuar Mohamed is their sole injury concern.

Prediction

  • Barcelona lead La Liga with three consecutive 2-1 wins, holding a four-point lead over Madrid clubs. Facing Real Valladolid, they aim to maintain their perfect start before the international break. Despite narrow victories, Barça showed resilience, notably with late comebacks against Rayo Vallecano.
  • Hansi Flick's squad displayed intensity and purpose, securing a comeback win with goals from Pedri and debutant Dani Olmo. Olmo's advanced midfield role and chemistry with Lamine Yamal bode well for Barça. While Barcelona hoped to sign Nico Williams, additional major transfers seem unlikely before the deadline.
  • Real Valladolid, newly promoted, target a positive result after earning four points from challenging fixtures against Espanyol and Leganés. Despite a 3-0 loss to Real Madrid, they showed competitiveness and aim to capitalise on opportunities against Barcelona.
