Valencia and Barcelona will be face to face in the 9th round La Liga’s derby. The game starts this afternoon at 15:15, UK Time.
Valencia started this campaign really bad, losing the first four matches in the league. Then they recorded three wins in the next four games, getting out of red zone. The hosts are on the 15th position at the moment, with nine points and a 11-15 goal difference. They would certainly be happy with a draw here, but they are clearly underdogs at the bookies.
