Valencia only got 1 point after 3 opening rounds of La Liga this season. Los Che drew Celta Vigo 0-0 in the opening match, before successively losing to Real Betis and Deportivo La Coruna. This result puts Valencia 17th in the standings.
They have added 7 new players in the summer transfer window, including Arnau Martinez and Ryunosuke Sato. However, the new squad has not yet helped Los Che create the necessary stability.
The fulcrum for Valencia to hope for against Barcelona is a 3-1 victory in their most recent La Liga encounter last season. That was also the first time Valencia had defeated the Catalan team since January 2020.
However, head-to-head history still leans towards Barcelona. The two teams have met 232 times in all competitions, of which Barcelona won 115, Valencia won 60 matches and 57 encounters ended in a draw.
On the other side, Barcelona is having a perfect start. The reigning La Liga champions successively defeated Elche 5-0, Athletic Bilbao 2-0 and Rayo Vallecano 5-2 to win all 9 points after 3 rounds.
Blaugrana currently lead the league table and will aim for their fourth consecutive victory in La Liga. After the away match against Valencia, Hansi Flick's team will begin their Champions League journey with a confrontation with Feyenoord.
The away team also had a busy summer in the transfer market when bringing in 8 new players, including Anthony Gordon, Rodri, Karim Adeyemi, Gabriel Jesus, Jesse Bisiwu, Dominik Livakovic, Hamza Abdelkarim and Joao Cancelo.
