Tip and bets
It will be a historic match for a small Valencian club and the first head-to-head encounter between the opponents. We are not expecting a blowout here - La Liga teams are not trying too hard in matches against low-level teams. We might see many young players in the line-up.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (-2) on Barcelona
We are expecting some goal opportunities from both sides today. Barca will probably score three or four goals here.
Our second bet is on total over 3 goals
