La Liga Matchday 12 Odds, Picks & Predictions: Valencia vs. Barcelona (2022)
We are almost one-third through the 2022-23 La Liga season, as the weather is beginning to get cold across Europe. That doesn’t mean things are starting to heat up, as five teams are within 10 points of each other at the top of the table.
Here are two key matchups I’m dialed in on this week and see where the value remains. And here is a closer look at this weekend’s game Valencia vs. Barcelona.

La Liga Matchday 12 Odds, Picks & Predictions: Valencia vs. Barcelona
Losing 2-1 to Mallorca last week, Valencia suffered their first defeat in more than a month, as they had been playing some strong football up to that point. In the loss, they were exposed in the backline, giving Mallorca chances throughout the day. They were lucky to lose by just one goal.
Now, they welcome Barcelona to town, who comes into this match trailing Real Madrid by just one game at the top of the table. They lead Real Madrid, and all other teams in La Liga, in goal differential, coming into his one with a whopping +24 through 11 games.
Led by the league’s top scorer Robert Lewandowski who has 12 goals to this point in the season, I like Barca to pick up a relatively easy win vs. Valencia in this one.
Pick: Barcelona (-170)
