Barcelona scored 12 goals in 3 wins this season: 5 against Elche, 2 against Athletic Club, and another 5 against Rayo Vallecano. Flick's team is demonstrating its attacking superiority, and although new faces arrived in the summer, it was the usual suspects who responded brilliantly last season. Lamine Yamal scored two goals and Raphinha a hat trick; new signings Adeyemi and Gordon registered assists, as did the teenager Espart.
In 8 years, Barcelona has only had one start of 4 wins in 4 La Liga matches; they will want to repeat that against Valencia on Sunday. Los Che have had a start to the campaign that suggests they will be fighting at the bottom of the table; they lost to newly promoted Deportivo La Coruña, before that fell at Mestalla against Betis, and in their debut they settled for a goalless draw against Celta.
Valencia beat Barcelona 3-1 at the end of last season, but when Barcelona had already won La Liga and there wasn't much at stake, Before that, Barça had a 12-game unbeaten streak against Valencia.

Our Valencia vs Barcelona Prediction
In 2025, when Valencia visited the Camp Nou, they suffered a 6-0 defeat; that same year, on another visit by Barça to Mestalla, they also won 5-0 away from home, after another resounding 7-1 victory.
In that sense, Raphinha has become a nemesis for Valencia; the Brazilian has recorded 4 goals and 5 assists against Los Che. It's a terrible start for Corberán's team and an exquisite one for Flick's.
Our prediction for Valencia vs Barcelona is: Barcelona -1.5.
