Personal analysis: Valencia is an offensive team. The team prefers to play high-pressure tactics in the frontcourt. Most of the threatening attacks are also played through high-pressure tactics. The frontcourt is basically responsible for the cross task on the right side by the midfielder Gra, and the left side is basically responsible for Rioja. Rioja has a larger range of activities and will occasionally run to the right to exchange positions with Gra. In the positional battle, the two people are more likely to organize the attack. Duro in the center position and Lopez on the right forward are more likely to shoot in front of the goal. Duro's ability to compete for the top in front of the goal is relatively good. The team's interception ability in the backcourt is relatively average, especially the single defense ability and passing ability in the backcourt are relatively average, which is also the main reason why Valencia often cannot play an effective counterattack. Barcelona's current forwards are all top players, especially this season Rafinha's explosive ability on the front line is very outstanding. After a season of improvement, Yamar's overall confrontation ability is much stronger than before. In the last round of the game against Alaves, he passed 6 people in a row, which was similar to Messi. Although the center forward Lewandowski is not young, his sense of smell for high and low kicks in front of the goal is still sensitive. Gavi, Torres, and Pedri in the midfield position have strong comprehensive abilities. At present, the competition for the starting position of several players in Barcelona's midfield position is relatively fierce. Kounde, Araujo, Kubasi, and Balde in the back line are also defensive and offensive players, but they often participate in the attack and leave gaps.

In terms of team strength, there is a big gap between Valencia and Barcelona. In particular, Valencia's high-pressure tactics are basically useless against teams with strong passing and control capabilities like Barcelona. Therefore, it is difficult for Valencia to win this game, especially since Barcelona attaches great importance to the King's Cup this year and has played with the main players in the previous rounds. In this game, Valencia's home handicap of 1.25 goals is normal. From the data, it can be seen that the support of the organization for Barcelona to win is not high. For the sake of safety, it is recommended that Barcelona win away, and the score is expected to be 1-2 or 1-3.
