Valencia vs Barcelona Preview
Valencia are flying in La Liga, currently sitting in 3rd place. They are one point ahead of the reigning Spanish Champions Real Madrid, which tells you everything you need to know about how the season has gone. Their most recent result was a 1-0 defeat against Atletico Madrid though, following on from defeats to Barca and Real respectively.
There are a couple of injury issues for Valencia. Javi Jimenez is the one player that is definitely out through injury, while players such as Ezequiel Garay and Geoffrey Kondogbia are doubtful. As is the case with Barcelona, there are likely to be changes to the team.
Barcelona are very comfortable at the top of the La Liga table, with a 9 point lead over closest challengers Atletico Madrid. Even so, they will not be too pleased with the result on Sunday, as Barca were held to a draw against Espanyol. It looked like they were heading for defeat at one point too, until Gerard Pique managed to grab an equaliser.
Barca are expected to name a pretty strong line up as they did for the first leg. There will be changes, such as Cillessen coming in like he does for the cup games. In terms of injuries, Ousmane Dembele will miss the game, while Thomas Vermaelen and Andre Gomes are a doubt.

Valencia vs Barcelona Prediction
Barcelona have a pretty good overall record in the Copa Del Rey, having not lost in 32 of their last 34 matches in the competition. They have also kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 7 matches in the Copa Del Rey, so they will go into this match as favourites as well.
As Barcelona have pretty much ensured that they will win the title having gained such a solid lead, they are likely to give the Copa Del Rey a really good go, especially since they are already favourites to reach the final.
It remains to be seen whether or not Barcelona will risk their main superstar Lionel Messi for this match but he is certainly a good option to use if they want to ensure that they definitely reach the Copa Del Rey final.
There have been under 2.5 goals scored in Barcelona‘s last 3 games in the Copa del Rey and we expect this match to be similar. That’s why the tip is for Under 2.5 Goals, with Barcelona edging the win.
