FC Barcelona has the wind in their sails after securing seven straight wins in all competitions post the draw against Dortmund in the Champions League.
Ernesto Valverde side currently resides at the second spot in the league while being just a point below Granada who surprisingly sits at the top. It’s quite evident that Leo Messis’s return has brought in the needed positive impact which was missing in the first few games.
Meanwhile, Valladolid who sits at ninth has been unbeaten in the last six games of the league. Valladolid has been on the receiving end of three wins and three draws in that period with their most recent result being a 2-0 win over Eibar.
