Prediction: 3-0
Valladolid
Barcelona and Real Valladolid square off against each other at Camp Nou on day 3 of the new La Liga campaign. Barca aim to build on a thrilling 4-1 win over Real Sociedad, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Robert Lewandowski scored two goals in the triumph over La Real, meaning that the opposition defenders should have him at bay. Ansu Fati could be recalled to the starting XI after finding the net in San Sebastian, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
La Pucela, on the other hand, were on the verge of shocking Sevilla at the weekend, but they eventually picked up one point from the match. Real Valladolid, though, are not regarded as good travellers, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Barca’s party at Camp Nou. Defender Jawad El Yamiq is banned for the match, while both Gonzalo Plata and Shon Weissman are sidelined with injuries.
