Barcelona
Despite missing Dani Olmo and Inigo Martinez, Barcelona’s injury list is mostly clear aside from Marc-Andre ter Stegen. With a disappointing Champions League performance behind them, a change in goalkeeping might occur with Inaki Pena replacing Wojciech Szczesny.

Valencia
Valencia is on a positive note, going unbeaten in their last four matches. They are closer to safety now, but this match presents a tough challenge compared to their previous fixtures against Sevilla or Real Sociedad.
Valencia Predicted XI: Giorgi Marmardashvili, Jose Gaya, Yarek Gasiorowski, Cesar Tarrega, Dimitri Foulquier, Enzo Barrenchea, Javier Guerra, Luis Rioja, Andre Almeida, Diego Lopez, Hugo Duro

With Lewandowski leading the charge, Barcelona’s formidable attack is likely to score against Valencia, but the latter may find the net as well. Prediction: Barcelona 3, Valencia 1.
