Friendly matches
The Austrian club have scored seven times in their previous eight home games. The total of the first half is over 1.5.
Salzburg
Valencia had an unsuccessful last season in the Primera and took the 13th line in the end, breaking away from the relegation zone by only nine points. In the offseason, the club changed its mentor and now the team is headed by Pepe Bordalas, who played a number of friendly matches with the team in preparation for the new domestic championship. The Bats beat Villarreal and Cartagena with the same score (3:2) and unexpectedly lost to Zaragoza (0:2).
Barcelona
Barcelona became the third in Spain at the end of last season and lost seven points to the champion at the finish line. Ronald Koeman’s team was strengthened by new performers in the offseason, among which Memphis Depay and Sergio Aguero can be distinguished. The Catalans played several test games, beating local Gimnastic (4:0) and Girona (3:1) and also beat German Stuttgart (3:0).
Prediction
The Austrian club is somewhat inferior to the Catalans in terms of their stellar line-up, but they have quite good conditions already at the start of the season, as demonstrated by the official matches of the team. In addition, the game will take place on the home field and this will become an additional trump card in favor of Salzburg. The friendly status of the match does not bode well for any serious motivation and the mass of single combats. Clubs are gaining optimal shape and, first of all, will try to avoid injuries. We believe that the game will be played in an equal fight and hosts will be able, at least, not to lose. Our prediction is an Asian handicap (0) against Salzburg. For such an outcome bookmaker 1xBet offers a coefficient of 2.43. Clubs have top-notch attacking performers in their lineups and prefer to focus primarily on creation and implementation. The season is only at the start and you can play openly and in an attacking manner, as both teams are used to doing. In our opinion, no one will close and sit in defense. This is not in the traditions of these clubs, which gives reason to assume good performance in the game. Our second bet will be for a total over 3.5 goals. Such a bet can be placed for 2.13.
