Valencia will look to book their spot in European competitions when they welcome newly crowned champions Barcelona to Mestalla in the final round of the La Liga season. Given Valencia's need for points and Barcelona's attacking potential, we predict a 2-2 draw. Los Che head into the clash full of confidence after a thrilling 4-3 victory over Real Sociedad, a result that kept their continental hopes alive. Valencia have been inconsistent overall, but they continue to pose a threat going forward, averaging 1.3 goals per game across their last ten matches. However, defensive concerns remain, especially at home where they have failed to keep a clean sheet in recent outings. Defender Eray Comert is suspended, further weakening the back line.
Barcelona, meanwhile, already secured the La Liga title and arrive after a comfortable 3-1 win over Betis. Hansi Flick’s side have been dominant in recent weeks, winning eight of their last ten matches while conceding just 0.8 goals per game. Even with Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres sidelined through injury, Barça still possess plenty of attacking quality and hold a commanding historical advantage in this fixture, winning 26 of the last 41 meetings.
With Valencia forced to attack in pursuit of Europe and Barcelona playing with less pressure, an entertaining contest could be on the cards.
Valencia must attack and with Barcelona remaining dangerous offensively, we are tempted to place our bets on Both Teams to Score, alongside Over 2.5 goals and Over 3.5 goals.
This Primera Division match will be played on Saturday 23 May 2026 at 20:00.
