Valencia

The team under the leadership of Peter Lima turned from a fighter, quite successful, for European cups, into a survivor. And quite often here, as an emergency but effective measure, a change of mentor is used during the draw. And the current coach knows it well – Corberan himself was appointed during the winter break of 2024/2025. And it worked perfectly: not only did they rise from the bottom of the table, but they finished almost in the middle of it.

Now Carlos himself is in danger – and in immediate danger too. After all, the fans, forgetting his merits, after 1:4 with Celta caught the club bus and threatened not only the football players, but also the recent savior. On the other hand, maybe it happened? After all, the players first drew with Elche, and then beat Burgos in the cup and Getafe in the championship!

Español

The club was also not devoid of ambitions. But, unlike his opponent, he flew to Segunda, and he has been doing it often lately. However, it was there that the decision was made to make Mano Gonzalez the head coach – as it turned out, this determined further progress. Let it be rather gradual: first, through the playoffs, they entered La Liga, then they established themselves there, a couple of points ahead of Leganes and were relegated.

Now it is already possible to make a serious attempt – the team from Barcelona is among the candidates for the European Cup. Although they still need to overcome the current slump, when in January they not only lost the derby to the champion 0:2, but also shared points with modest Levante and did not respond to Vanat’s goals, conceding to Girona as well. In fifth place, it turned out to be behind, but the competitors are now much closer!

Statistics of personal meetings

All six of the last face-to-face matches resulted in draws, and 2:2 or 1:11.

Forecast

Bookmakers believe in the possibility of a new success for the hosts. But this is an underestimation of their ambitious opponent – we bet that the guests will not lose (coefficient – 1.6 according to the BC betking line).
