16.10.2021 07:00
After the national break, the Spanish top competition returns with a clash of two teams playing for the top positions. Barcelona of Catalonia will welcome the team from the orange blossom coast to Camp Nou.
Background information, news and team form
Both teams have been very inconsistent in terms of performances this season and they are also in the same positions in the table. So both teams have a reason to prove themselves. Valencia is eighth in the Spanish La Liga with 12 points. After a great start, when Valencia managed to win 3 times in 4 games, against Alaves, Osasuna and Getafe and draw once with Granada, came a series of 2 losses against Real Madrid and Sevilla, followed by 2 draws against Bilbao and Cadiz. Valencia can be pleased that despite their poor form at the moment, they have managed to score in 7 consecutive games. Barcelona is in ninth place with 12 points and is only a score worse than the non-toppers from Valencia. Barcelona is not having the best time this season. The departure of the Argentinian megastar has not only affected Barcelona's playing side, but also its psychological side. The goals scored by the Argentine should have been replaced by the arrivals of Depay, De Jong and Aguero. But of these three, only the Dutchman Depay was able to make it through. After the performances in the last few games, there was talk of sacking Dutch coach Koeman, but despite media speculation, he has kept his job for now. However, the next matches could seal his fate for good in case of bad results.
