FC BARCELONA v VALENCIA
So after the international match break back to La Liga this weekend and without doubt the Big Match is at the Camp Nou where FC Barcelona entertain league leaders Valencia.
Interesting to see the Valencia players talking up their chances of a win when their last 3 league visits have produced results of 3-0, 4-0 and 6-0. Valencia certainly have the attacking options with Soldado, Aduritz and Mata leading the line, but one feels their defence and Cesar Mr Smiley Sanchez will be tested more than they have been on their trips to Malaga, Alicante and Gijon. They will be without 3 players and Joaquin will be the one missed most as he has been in fine form.
FC Barcelona will be missing Xavi who is likely to be on the bench just in case and possibly will be more concerned about the effects of those internacional matches on the 13 Barça players who were representing their countries. Rather than the minutes played it will be the minutes travelled that might take the shine off their usual polished performance. Speaking of performances, wasn't Andres Happy Feet Iniesta absolutely Great Dane-ish against Scotland midweek?
Prediction: FC Barcelona 3 Valencia 1
A match to enjoy Saturday Night Live!
