Barcelona: current form, latest results, statistics

Barcelona has two consecutive draws with Valencia and Athletic Bilbao. He has allowed Real Madrid to come close to just 6 points and will follow the match straight. The Catalans have a very difficult time with heavy encounters with Sevilla and Real Madrid in La Liga. Among these parties are interferences with Lyon, the Champions League, and again Real Madrid in Copa del Rey.

There will be a period when a player rotation will take place to get the most out of these meetings. Barcelona continues on all three fronts and wants to win all three trophies. It remains like Valverde to decide the players with which to start each game.

But let’s see the results of the last 5 meetings:

  • 27.01.19 Girona vs Barcelona 0-2
  • 30.01.19 Barcelona vs Sevilla 6-1 (Copa del Rey)
  • 02.02.19 Barcelona vs Valencia 2-2
  • 06.02.19 Barcelona vs Real Madrid 1-1 (Copa del Rey)
  • 10.02.19 Athletic Bilbao vs Barcelona 0-0

Lionel Messi is completely rebuilt and will be able to play with ease in meeting Valladolid. Thursday he trained at maximum capacity and demonstrated that he does not mind the muscular contraction in the Valencia match.

Umtiti returned to training and could be taken to the reserve bench on Saturday. There will be a time when Valverde will be able to choose the central defender between Piquet, Lenglet, Vermaelen, Umtiti and Murillo. Surely this team compartment has been covered.

Lionel Messi, with 21 goals scored and 10 decisive passes, remains the indispensable player in Barcelona.

Valladolid: current form, latest results, statistics

Even if he was in the first half of the standings, Valladolid returned to the dangerous area, only 3 points from the first relegable place. There are several difficult stages with a caliber strike after Barcelona to meet Betis Sevilla and Real Madrid.

He was quite good on his way and brought 14 points, ranking 7th in a hierarchy. In the first 11 games, on the opponents’ field, he only received 11 goals, only surprised in the match in Huesca, where he lost 0-4.

Let’s look at the last meetings:

  • 15.01.19 Valladolid vs Getafe 1-1 (Copa del Rey)
  • 20.01.19 Levante vs Valladolid 2-0
  • 27.01.19 Valladolid vs Celta Vigo 2-1
  • 01.02.19 Huesca vs Valladolid 4-0
  • 08.02.19 Valladolid vs Villareal 0-0

Coach Sergio said he will not ask a player to keep Messi special. If it is to stop the Argentine star, this will be done by the group of players. He said he was thinking of coming up with a surprise change in the game system, but he still thinks about it.

Fernando Calero, suspected of wanting to leave, denied having been in talks with another team. He was suspended in the last stage, but now he is available. It remains to be seen if the coach will modify the Joaquin – Kiko Olivas pair who did very well in the last round.

Oscar Plano, 3 goals and 3 assists, is the most efficient team player. He is suspended for this match due to the cumulus of yellow cards. Enes Unal, also 3 goals, is the most dangerous striker.
