Barcelona vs Valladolid. Betting Tip (odds 5.20) and bets on the match of the Spanish championship

Current form

Dani Olmo scored on his Barcelona debut to continue their winning start to the La Liga campaign. The Catalans secured a 2-1 win at Rayo Vallecano on Tuesday, leaving them the only team with a 100 per cent record this season after three games. It’s surprising for a club of their stature, but it’s the first time since 2018/19 that https://www.fcbarcelona.com/en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barça have started a league campaign with three wins in a row. There are also some early losses, with Marc Bernal’s injury “weakening his bench a bit,” according to coach Hansi Flick. A fourth win would be welcome after dropping points against their main rivals, especially as the Catalans have won 15 of their last 17 head-to-head encounters. Valladolid have also failed to win at this ground since November 1997.

Disqualifications and injuries

Fati (leg injury), Gavi (knee injury), de Jong (ankle injury), Bernal (knee injury), Araujo (muscle injury), Barbera (bruise), Christensen (injury) and Garcia (heel injury) will not be able to play today.

Interesting trends for betting

• The Catalans have not lost a head-to-head match at home in La Liga since November 1997

This is one of Barca's best streaks in history and there is little chance that this record will be broken

Barcelona have won 15 of their last 17 matches in La Liga

Even with the losses that Flick has today, his team has a serious squad of classy and experienced players who are ready to solve any problems, especially with a clearly weaker newcomer like Valladolid.

• In two of the last four head-to-head matches, Barca won by three or more goals

These statistics are confirmed by the results of the last duels, in which Valladolid conceded three unanswered goals from Real Madrid

Probable line-up : ter Steggen - Martin, Dminges, Balde, Kunde - Casado, Torres, Gundogan, Viktor - Lewandowski, Yamal.

Current form

A win for Valladolid here, as their underdog status suggests, would be a complete shock, although they have had a decent start to the campaign. They were beaten 1-0 by Leganes on Wednesday, their second successive goalless encounter. The visitors have also failed to score in six of their last eight head-to-head matches, a drought that looks set to continue despite winning their last tie 3-1. This is not a new problem for Valladolid, who have failed to score in three successive La Liga away games. That included a 3-0 defeat to Real Madrid in their first away game in the league, although the scoreline does not reflect their efforts to keep Madrid clean for more than half-time. Moreover, two goals after 85 minutes arguably made the scoreline worse than it should have been.

Disqualifications and injuries

Anuar (hernia) will not be able to take part in the game.

Interesting trends for betting

• Karl Hein in goal for Valladolid, who have already kept two clean sheets in this league and made nine saves in three games.

A reliable goalkeeper is always half the team and there is hope for this talented player, who will try to contain Lewandowski and co.

• Valladolid have failed to score in six of their last eight head-to-head matches

If the head coach throws all his efforts into defense, then it will be very difficult to play in attack - the "pusela" has serious problems in creation and clearly lacks experience and classy players capable of putting a decisive end to the episode.

Probable line-up : Ferreira-Rosa, Torres, Boyomo, Comert, Ruiz-Perez, Chuki, Koke-Salla, Ndiaye.
