Likely Winner:

Barcelona are the clear favourites to win the BAR vs VDL Today Match Prediction for multiple reasons. They are in amazing form and with Atletico Madrid’s loss to Sevilla, they can go within 1 point of the title. They also have a great record against Valladolid and we need to go back all the way to 2014 when they last recorded a win against Barcelona. Atletico Madrid’s result has upped the stakes for this fixture and the Cules will want the 3-points no matter what and Valladolid will have to do very well to stop them.
