The Catalans go into this game placed fifth in the league standings with four points from their opening two matches, while Real Valladolid are 17th with a point. In the warm up to this game, Barcelona played a friendly match with Manchester City, which ended 3-3. They will be looking to extend a run that has them unbeaten in the last 10 games and having scored two or more goals in four of the last five places them firmly as the favorites. In their last five matches, Barcelona have three clean sheets, and have only failed to score once – in their opening league game, against Rayo Vallecano. They have six straight wins over Valladolid, and in that run they have five clean sheets.

Real Valladolid have a poor run against Barcelona; they have scored just one goal in the last six meetings, and lost all the six matches. Heading into this game, they haven’t had a great start to the league, only taking one point from a possible six. It is a tough start for the newly promoted side; they opened their charge with a 3-0 loss to Villarreal and though they improved with a 1-1 draw with Sevilla in their last game, they had Jawad Yamiq sent off and will be out of this game. Real Valladolid will hope to improve on their La Liga run; 14 La Liga matches, they have no win.

Barcelona are the favorites here and it is easy to see, with the quality of players in their fold as well as the history of their dominance over Valladolid. The visitors are on a very tough run of matches as they return to the topflight, and it won’t get easier here. Back Barcelona to lead at half time and full time.
