This weekend, Barcelona will host Valencia in an unusual setting for a LaLiga match. Unable to use the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys, which does not yet have the administrative permits for its opening, the Catalan side will play their home match at the Estadi Johan Cruyff, a much smaller venue.Hansi Flick’s team goes into this match under pressure to pick up a win, after dropping points in their last league match against Rayo Vallecano.
Valencia, meanwhile, arrive with renewed optimism after their 3-0 victory over Getafe in the previous matchday, so they will be hoping to spring a surprise and make life even more difficult for Barcelona.
The start of both teams in LaLiga
Barcelona had a good start to the season, where in the first matchday of LaLiga they defeated Mallorca by three goals to nil as visitors. On matchday two, Flick’s team kept the streak going by beating Levante three goals to two, however, the tangle of points came in Vallecas, where they drew one goal apiece in a rather controversial duel.
Valencia is coming off a difficult season, where with sporting and managerial problems, the fans have not been happy at all.
At the start of LaLiga, Valencia began with a draw against Real Sociedad at home, then lost away to Osasuna and in the previous match thrashed Getafe, renewing the energy of a squad that is looking to regain confidence.
