Barcelona 5/4 to beat Valladolid and over 3.5 goals in Saturdays La Liga showdown

Competition: La Liga

Market: Barcelona win and over 3.5 goals

Odds: 5/4 @ Bet 365

Getting their La Loga title defense off with a win last weekend, Barcelona, led by Lionel Messi will look to carry on their eye-catching start to the new season when they travel to the recently promoted Valladolid on Saturday.

Starting with the hosts, after coming up via the playoffs last season, La Liga’s latest side know that simply extending their status in Spain’s top tier is the main priority. Coming off the back of a 0-0 draw with Girona in their opener, the biggest worry for Sergio’s side will be his sides inability to finish off a game. Now drawing three of their last and failing to find the net in three of those outings, causing a major upset on Saturday will be a monumental task.

As for the defending La Liga champions, Ernesto Valverde’s side started their defense in empathic fashion. Putting three past Alaves, with last years top scorer and five-time Balon’dOr winner Lionel Messi grabbing a brace, the visitors have now won their last three on the bounce scoring eight times. Bringing in the likes of Arturo Vidal this summer, Barcelona only lost one game last season and will look to become the unbeatables this year. Backing Barcelona to win and over 3.5 goals seems like the best bet on Saturday.
