Estadio de Mestalla, Valencia
📊 Match Insights
Barcelona will look to maintain their strong start to the 2026-27 La Liga season as they visit Mestalla to face Valencia on Sunday afternoon.
The Catalan club has won all three of their opening matches, placing them at the top of the La Liga standings, while Valencia finds themselves in 17th place with just one point.
Valencia's start to the league has been disappointing, with one draw and two losses from their initial three games, leaving them struggling at the bottom of the table.
They began their season with a goalless draw against Celta Vigo, followed by consecutive defeats to Real Betis and Deportivo La Coruna.
After finishing ninth in the previous season, Valencia aimed for a better performance this year, but their initial results have been lackluster.
During the summer transfer window, Carlos Corberan's team made seven new signings, including Arnau Martinez and Ryunosuke Sato, hoping to bolster their squad.
In last season's corresponding fixture, Valencia managed a 3-1 victory over Barcelona, marking their first win against the Catalans since January 2020.
Historically, Barcelona holds a commanding lead in their head-to-head record, with 115 wins compared to Valencia's 60, alongside 57 draws from their 232 encounters.
Hansi Flick's team, the reigning champions, has been flawless in La Liga so far this season, with victories of 5-0 over Elche, 2-0 against Athletic Bilbao, and a 5-2 win against Rayo Vallecano in their latest match.
