Nice to have a match center. Wish whoscored did this for all Copa games. Ultimately, disappointed with this result. It's a win for Barca that feels a lot like a loss.
Had Guedes played, Valencia would have had more chance of scoring a goal. Valencia were outstanding tactically especially in the defensive phase. For me, Gabriel and Umtiti were men of the match.
In La Liga Barca will play this weekend on Espanyol's field. An easy match or at least not that hard. On the other hand, Valencia will go to Madrid to play against the fortress called Atletico. Last time they beat Atletico was almost 4 years ago. I donno if this counts tonight but for sure Barca can concentrate on this match more than Valencia.
Barcelona 4-0 Valencia
No Guedes for Valencia means you will see something similar to what you saw this weekend when Real Madrid steamrolled past Valencia. Barcelona at home is a force to be reckoned with and although they weren't in tip-top shape this weekend against Alaves, expect a night/day performance for them Thursday night.
Barcelona will be in control from the onset and stiffen Valencia with immense amount of pressure in the flanks and near the mouth of the goal. Chances will be at a premium and given the fact that Barca is good for a rout any given day of the week I think we see Barcelona finally deliver a proper midweek spanking! Valencia's best hope is to wait it out and leave numbers behind the ball and hope to hit Barca on the break. Rodrigo as sub to score is possible late game.
A big win in this first leg makes everything easier for future Barcelona. They'll want to put this one to bed soon. Suarez with a brace. This has been a prediction from Daddy Noscope.
why do people still think barcelona will lose this season especially in cup games if u still believe that will happen then u dont know football Barca is well balanced this season defence midfield and attack are well intact
I (as a part time Valencia supporter) firmly Believe that they - after just managing to squeeze past Alaves in the cup - should prioritize the League. Real Madrid proved to Valencia that there's no longer any margin of error. Reborn Villarreal and Sevilla only wait to capitalize on lost points. That said it wouldn't surprise me if Marcelino still decides to line up with the strongest XI possible, just to win a small moment of glory.
This is a match that can end in any direction. Barcelona can only win if they have the right mentality. If they play like against Alaves they will surely lose.
absolutely crazy,the game is going to be the only match to watch,,and the game will be a great ma tch maybe a 8/10 since Valencia have fallen short to Madrid and lack confidence

@DaddyNoScope Will Suarez do a hat trick? :P
@DaddyNoScope I would be very surprised if Barca win this game with 3 goal margin.
@DaddyNoScope Guedes played against real
@DaddyNoScope Waaw !! what an analysis, can you tell me if Messi will score?
@DaddyNoScope I hope to see Coutinho scoring too. And for Valencia maybe Santi Mina (with a bit of luck)
Will Barcelona or Valencia rest many players with it being the copa del rey ?
