Barcelona vs. Valencia

Date : October 10,2018 Author : Oscar Holt Categories :

FC Barcelona entertains Valencia at Camp Nou stadium in La Liga, after the shocking exit of the Champions League against Roma on Tuesday. Barcelona dream of winning the treble came to an end after suffering an outrageous, on aggregate defeat, where despite enjoying a 4-1 first-leg advantage, Messi and co.
Somehow managed to throw It all away and lose by the margin of 3-0, just enough for Roma to go through to the semi-finals. However, Barcelona will now step up their pursue the La Liga title and will undoubtedly go for all three points, to heal the fresh wounds.

History
Both teams have 36 games against each other where Barcelona is more successful with 19 victories opposed to Valencia’s five victories while 12 matches have finished without a winner.
The teams have already met three times this season, twice in Copa del Rey which ended with a 3-0 aggregate score to Barsa and a 1-1 La Liga match at Mestalla.

Barcelona
Ernesto Valverde’s side has been dominating La Liga this year, and they already enjoy 11 points lead to Atletico Madrid at 2nd place. However, this match is more than a chance to extend the lead. The manager and the players will have to hit the court for the first time after the Champions League exit, and anything other than victory would be unsatisfactory for the fans.
Ivan Rakitic should be the only absentee after suffering a broken finger against Roma on Tuesday, while Lucas Digne might find his way back in the starting line-up after sitting the last couple of games out with an injury.

Valencia
The Bats have won 9 out of 10 in La Liga and are 1st place in the current form of all teams on the table. Their manager Marcelino Garcia seems to have finally established a deadly attacking duo in Rodrigo and Zaza, with the pair scoring 8 of their last nine goals.
The glory days are finally back at Valencia, and there is a good chance that after three years, Champions League football will be welcomed back at Mestalla, next year.
Ex-Arsenal man, Francis Coquelin is the only one out with an Achilles injury.

Prediction
With Valencia in terrific form and Barcelona still having fresh in mind the deplorable defeat at Olimpico Stadium, this game might turn into a real goal fiesta.
Barsa will unleash full power from the very start, and Valencia will undoubtedly be ready and try to hit them on the counter-attack. Having this in mind, both teams to score and over 2.5 goals is probably the safest bet. Tags :

RESPONSIBLE GAMING

We're concerned about problem gambling. For most people, gambling is entertainment - a fun activity that can be enjoyed without harmful effect. But for some, it's not just a game - it's a serious problem that continues even after the fun has gone.

Compulsive gambling is not easily detected. The person with a gambling problem will often go to great lengths to cover up the problem and will appear to look all right, regardless of the consequences of their gambling.

Warning Signs. Some of the indicators that a person may be suffering from a gambling problem include:

Losing time from work or family due to gambling.
Repeated failed attempts to stop or control gambling.
Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts.
Gambling to escape worry or trouble.
Neglecting the care of one's self or family in order to gamble.
Lying about the amount of time and money spent on gambling.
Gambling more money in an attempt to win back losses.
Selling or pawning personal possessions to get money to gamble.
Feelings of hopelessness, depression, or suicide as a result of gambling.
