It is one of the classics of the Spanish football championship. But it appears very unbalanced on paper. This Sunday evening, FC Barcelona receives the CF Valence in its provisional lair of Montjuic, pending the end of the work of Camp Nou. Third in the standings, the Catalans play the first roles despite a season in the shape of roller coaster. While the Valenciens are fighting to maintain liga and occupy a sad 19th place with 16 points taken only in 20 days.
Barça brilliantly won the Spanish Super Cup while sweeping its historic Rival of Real Madrid (5-2). He also remains on a stunning victory in the Champions League on the Benfica lawn (5-4 after being led 3-1 then 4-2). But in the league, it is very complicated with a series of four games without victory including two home defeats since December 7. What see the Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid at the top of the ranking.
To prevail against Valence therefore seems an obligation for the Catalans if they want to hope to win the Liga. Valence remains on a nice success at home against Real Sociedad (1-0) and wants to continue on this dynamic to avoid the catastrophe scenario. The first leg (1st day) had been won by Barça (2-1) in Valence.
The match between FC Barcelona and CF Valence will take place this Sunday at 9 p.m. at the Montjuic Olympic stadium. The meeting will be followed live on beIN SPORTS 1.
