A fantastic atmosphere awaits Barcelona as they travel to rivals Valencia on the back of a comfortable 4 – 0 victory over Sevilla. Barcelona are looking to claim a famous victory at Valencia, in which it should be a fast, end to end game. If Barca win, they would have 5 games to play and 6 a point gap over Real Madrid who are to set to play Sevilla.
Valencia are on good form with David Villa scoring in five consecutive games, but the way Barcelona are defending, he will have to be on the top of his game.
Leo Messi, the Barca striker, look set to return to starting line up after missing the previous game due to stomach pains the day before the game. If Leo plays he will be looking to emulate his form for this season.
Valencia midfielder Ruben Baraja said: “This is a different game to the rest, because no one has the quality and the determination Barca have,”
Barcas game against Valencia is to kick of at 20:00(GMT) on Saturday
I predict a 2 – 1 victory for Barcelona with Leo Messi making an assist.

Racing Santander (W)
