Barcelona round off their 2025-26 La Liga campaign traveling south to face ninth-place Valencia at Estadio de Mestalla on Saturday. Valencia still stand a chance of securing a European spot, but face a stern test against reigning champions Barcelona. They haven't won a competitive home fixture against the Blaugrana since 2020, which is why our prediction here goes against the home side.
Guido Rodriguez and Javi Guerra’s late goals saw Valencia edge Celta Vigo 4–3 in a thrilling encounter last week, helping them win the relegation battle and also close in on securing a European spot.
Carlos Corberán’s side now sit two points outside the top seven in the standings and could move into the European places with a win, depending on the outcome of seventh-place Getafe’s and eighth-place Rayo Vallecano’s matches. However, they have dropped points in three of their last four La Liga home matches (D1, L2).
Raphinha struck twice as Barcelona continued their fine run in the Spanish top flight with a 3–1 victory over Real Betis last week. The Blaugrana have now picked up an impressive 36 points from their last 13 La Liga matches – a run that saw them retain the league title. They have won four of their last five La Liga away matches and are unbeaten in past six visits to Valencia.

Our Valencia vs Barcelona Prediction
Valencia have impressed of late, but their poor results at home sound a note of caution. The Bats’ European bid will be duly tested against a high-flying Barcelona side on Saturday. They have struggled in recent home meetings with the reigning and 29-time La Liga champions.
Additionally, Barcelona have shown no signs of slowing down in their terrific run in the Spanish top flight and will look to round off the season on a high note. Our Valencia vs Barcelona prediction: Barcelona win.
