This season has been particularly difficult for Valencia. Los Che find themselves genuinely in danger of being relegated from La Liga for the first time in many years. They currently reside in 19th position with 19 points, four points off safety. Nevertheless, there has been a vast improvement in the team since Carlos Corberán assumed the head coach role.
Over the weekend, Valencia won an important home match against Celta Vigo with a score of 2-1, but they did suffer a humiliating 1-7 loss against Barcelona and managed to defeat Real Sociedad before it.
In the previous Copa del Rey round, Valencia easily took care of third tier opponent Ourense with a score of 2-0.
Barcelona shocked everyone when they started the season, and for a while, no one imagined any other team could give them a good run for the title. They did fall off the pace though, and after November and December, found themselves in 3rd place on the La Liga table. What keeps them hopeful is the fact they are only four points off all the leaders Real Madrid.
In their most recent match, Hansi Flick’s side beat Alavés 1-0 at home with Robert Lewandowski scoring the winner. They did perform better in the match prior, thumping Valencia, then drawing 1-1 against Getafe.
In the Copa del Rey round of 16, Betis lost to Barcelona 5-0. The Blaugrana have lifted the Spanish Super Cup already this season and placed second in their Champions League group with 19 points.
