Barcelona vs Valladolid Prediction and Betting Tips

FC Barcelona have made a typically classy start to the season and the Spanish Champions, priced at 1/8 for the win with Coral, will look to continue their dominant form at home against Real Valladolid on Saturday night.

It seems 7 is the magic number for the Catalan club at present – they won their opening game of the season at home to Levante 7-0 and have gone on to win 7 out of 7 in La Liga; a feat which means they currently sit atop of the table, albeit alongside a fellow unblemished-record side in Atletico Madrid.

Unlike their rather more illustrious opponents for Saturday night's encounter, travelling team Real Valladolid have just the one win to their name so far and the side from north-western Spain sit 16th in the table. Rather worrying for Pucela, as Valladolid are affectionately known, is their meagre goals total – they've managed just 6 in their 7 league games so far – and the latest odds would seem to suggest that they are unlikely to add to that tally at the Nou Camp. Back Barcelona to win 3-0, with Bet Victor offering best odds of 13/2.

Still, Valladolid will be hoping that they come up against a Barca side jaded from Tuesday night's trickier-than-expected Champions League assignment in Glasgow – though the men from Catalunya came away from Celtic Park with a 1-0 win, they were made to work for their second victory in the group and didn't break the deadlock until late in the game courtesy of a Cesc Fabregas finish.

Valladolid will also be relieved at not having to make plans for Leo Messi, with the Argentine expected to remain sidelined with the thigh injury he sustained against Almeira for another 2 weeks or so.

But, despite Messi's absence there's still plenty of Barca players with an eye for goal. Fancy Andres Iniesta to open the scoring, well priced at 8/1 with Ladbrokes.

Can't see this one going any way other than a home victory – money is on Barca to make it 8 from 8.
