- Real Valladolid in all competitions: L-L-L-L-L
- Barcelona in the League: W-D-W-W-W
- Barcelona in all competitions: L-W-W-W-D
Team News:
- Real Valladolid will be without the services of Karl Hein as he is injured. Due to physical discomfort, Henrique Silva and Javi Sanchez might also miss out.
- Robert Lewandowski, Marc Bernal, Marc Casado, and Jules Kounde have injuries and will not be in action for Barcelona. Alejandro Balde’s availability depends on his match fitness.
Player(s) to watch:
- Real Valladolid has performed poorly this season. They have scored the least number of goals against their opponents this season. Mamadou Sylla will be in action for his side yet again. He has seven goal involvements in 26 La Liga games this season, and he will be looking to add more to his tally.
- Ferran Torres will once again be leading the attack for Barcelona in the absence of Robert Lewandowski. He is coming in after scoring an important goal in the previous fixture for Barcelona. The Spaniard is doing his job well and is going to play a crucial role yet again. Torres is going to create some problems for the opponent’s defence with his different set of plays.
