Real Valladolid vs Barcelona Prediction

Barcelona has a clear cut chance in taking away all three points back to Camp Nou. Their squad strength is impeccable for the Valladolid defense to handle.

Lionel Messi will be a menace for the home defense and thus the tip for Messi to score anytime at 1.57 odds will come in handy for the punters.

But Seiten’s tactics have been failing to find its rhythm when playing away from home, which will be a concern for the visitors. Valladolid hasn’t shown exceptional form at home for the opponents to worry about.

They have only three losses at home but 10 of their remaining 14 unbeaten games are draws. Just 5 losses from their 17 away fixtures put Barcelona back in the driving seat of the game.

The away win is an obvious choice, but at 1.33 odds, it may not be enough for decent returns. The tip for Barcelona to win with a -1 handicap at 1.80 odds will be an excellent substitute in the clash.

Since we can expect a high-scoring affair, over 2.5 goals with 1.75 odds will be another pleasant choice.

• Lionel Messi to score anytime @ 1.57 (4/7).
