Barcelona are six points clear of Real Madrid at the top of La Liga but it could easiily be a wider gap. The league leaders have drawn their last two games against Valencia and Athletic Bilbao. Inbetween those two games they also drew with Real Madrid in the Copa del Re so need to get back in winning ways. They have an ideal opportunity to do so as they host 15th placed Valladolid. They are unbeaten in their last 11 league games and have won four of the last five at home. 

The away side won promotion to La Liga last season but are facing a battle to avoid relegation. They are only three places above the bottom three and have only won one of their last eight league matches. Goals are a problem for them at present with them only scoring in one of their last four games and with only 19 scored in La Liga, they have the worst goal scoring record in the league. Away form is patchy and a recent 4-0 loss at bottom club Huesca doesn't fill anyone with confidence that they will get anything at Barcelona. With only five points from their last seven away league games, the tip here is for Barcelona to get the win and lead at both half and full time.
