Match Preview: Valencia CF vs FC Barcelona

 History:

Valencia CF will welcome FC Barcelona on Sunday the 2nd of May at Mestalla at 9 pm kick-off time for the standout fixture on Matchday 34 of LaLiga Santander where Valencia CF will try to collect all three points at the Copa del Rey winners' expense.

Valencia CF are unbeaten at home in 2021 and their latest LaLiga loss at home to FC Barcelona dates back to 2016 where a last-gasp Messi spot kick denied Valencia CF a much deserved point in cruel fashion.

Valencia CF have welcomed FC Barcelona on 125 occasions with a slightly positive balance of 48 wins, 30 draws and 47 losses. Javi Gracia’s side will be gunning for a much needed win ahead of the final run-in of LaLiga.
