THE PREDICTION
Barcelona have four points in three matches to make up on Real Madrid which seems highly unlikely now so they simply cannot afford any slips now. They have looked much better in their last couple of matches after a sluggish restart to action but that is seemingly too little too late for their title hopes. They should be suitably motivated to travel to Valladolid and take all three points, but Quique Setien’s unhappy camp could see them slip away from home in an uninspiring game like this. Expect Barca to win but do not rule out the hosts frustrating them for long spells.
