Can Valencia win against Barça???

[Kraghen]

That's a stupid question for some of us, but I was surprised to see the Valencia's odd dropping significantly! I was about to go big on Barça, but it seems some people believe a miraculous winning of Valencia is possible! What do you think?

Of course, Valencia is a very, very good side, and Barca may be fine with a 2-1 loss here, seeing as how they will have the return leg at home.

[The Hot Pepper]

no.

[Kraghen]

Indeed, Valencia is playing at home and they are very good at Mestalla. It may probably end as a draw...

[Kraghen]

Please, take some second to answer the poll...

Valencia was ahead 1-0 and 2-1 and Barca needed a late goal to equalize 2-2 last time. And as said before, Barca knows that they can win 2-0 or 3-0 at home, so they may be fine with a close loss here. It's just basic sense with a return leg pending. DOn't be surprised to see a 1-1 draw or a close loss for either side.

The value bet is on Valencia +0,5, and if you have gut just take the Valencia ML.... I was about to bet on Barça as they almost never disappoint me... but I may not bet on this game... I can't see Barça losing here... because Valencia disappointed me many times... but who knows?

i already put some money on Barcelona, so i hope they win this game.

[Kraghen]

thanks for replying to the poll. There are 3 of you who think Valencia can win, and only one who think they can't.

With Barcelona you are betting on them not performing if you take the other side, sure anything can happen but this barcelona can beat almost any team in the world home or away. Midweek 2 legged road cup game, I would just stay away.

Best of luck to you whichever way you lean!

[Kraghen]

What is both team line-up?

Puyol, Pique, Abidal,
Mascherano, Fabregas, Busquets, Thiago
Alexis Messi Cuenca


Valencia

Alves
Miguel, Rami, Ruiz, Alba
Albelda Banega
Piati Jonas Mathiu
Soldado.

[latinrus]

I don't know what to expect of Barca! They have some injuries, Iniesta, Pedro, VIlla.

Xavi is on the bench, he's not 100%

Pinto sucks.

On the other hand Valencia can play great and play like crap, today I think they'll play decently, but IMO this may be a draw.

[Nova99]

The biggest problem betting against Barca the last few seasons is the fact their bench players know how to play the "Barca" way, so even though the bench is weaker than the starters they dont change their style, which is very rare in the sport. But looking at that lineup Valencia def may have a shot tonight.

[DHB]

draw at best.

[camelbreath$]

I have Valencia at +400 odds, why not throw a couple bucks down? I'm on board for a lil upset minded team at home.

[Kraghen]

draw 1-1
