League leaders Barcelona will be looking to extend their lead at the top of the table to ten points when they take on relegation candidates Valencia on Sunday afternoon.
The Catalans go into this game full of confidence after ending their two-game losing streak with a 1-0 win over Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey semifinal first leg on Thursday night. What makes things even more interesting is the fact that this victory was achieved without key names like Robert Lewandowski, Pedri and Dembele. Since all these big names will also be out this weekend, the hosts will have to be excellent to register another victory.
Speaking of confidence, Valencia ended their six-game losing streak in all competitions with the win against Real Sociedad last time out and should be optimistic ahead of this game. Nevertheless, it is not expected to be an easy game for the visitors, as Barcelona have given them so many nightmares in recent years. For example, they won just two of their last eighteen meetings with Barca in all competitions.
Barcelona vs Valencia Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
Although the hosts are considered favorites to get the three points due to their good record in meetings between these two sides, it won't be an easy game for them as Valencia would give in everything to avoid relegation.
However, Xavi's men should be better prepared for the intense physical battle that awaits them on Sunday afternoon, and a ten-point lead at the summit should be theirs courtesy of a professional performance and return to winning ways in the league.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Ansu Fati was a doubt for Thursday's game against Real Madrid, but the 20-year-old could play over 20 minutes.
With both Raphinha and Gavi suspended for this match, the Spanish pro could be given a place in the final third alongside Ferran Torres.
Ousmane Dembélé has missed the last ten games due to a hamstring injury and Sunday's game would come too soon for him as well as Pedri and Robert Lewandowski, who are suffering from a muscle and hamstring injury respectively.

Valencia Team News
Given that there were no injuries in the important win against Real Sociedad last weekend, head coach Rubén Baraja is expected to resist the temptation to make many changes to his starting eleven.
Former Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani has missed the last two games due to a muscle injury and this weekend's game would come too soon for him, but otherwise the visitors have no other injury worries.
