Copa del Rey Copa del Rey quarter-final between Valencia and Barcelona. Prediction, 06.02.2025
FC Barcelona want to keep their next title chance alive
The quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey feature a clash between FC Valencia and FC Barcelona. The starting position is quite clear: Barcelona are the favorites and Valencia are hoping for a minor sensation. The bats are only in second-last place in La Liga and the absolute worst-case scenario is looming, namely relegation. In the last few weeks, they have been able to recover somewhat and recently celebrated 2 wins from their last 3 games. During this period, however, there was also a 1:7 defeat against Barcelona. Hansi Flick's team are currently enjoying another strong run and are in absolute top form, especially offensively. In the Cup, they naturally want to keep their title chances alive and reach the semi-finals.

- 19th place in the table
- 2 wins from the last 3 games
- 22 goals in 22 league games
FC Barcelona

Valencia has found its feet under the new coach
Valencia FC have had a season to forget so far: instead of fighting for a European spot, the team is in second-last place in La Liga after 22 matchdays. The entire fall was a complete disappointment and in December they once again decided to change coaches. This seems to have paid off so far, as the team has been much more stable in the new year and has already picked up a few points. With a total of 19 points, they are currently 4 points adrift of the drop zone. They have won 2 of their last 3 league games, including at home against Real Sociedad. However, their last away game ended in a debacle. They were beaten 7:1 at FC Barcelona of all clubs. The actually stable defense had no means against the best offense in Spain. In the remaining 6 games under Carlos Corberan, only 4 more goals were conceded and thus less than 1.00 goals conceded per game. Valencia's focus is certainly on the league, as they want to avoid relegation at all costs. However, the Copa del Rey is their only chance of winning the title.

The hosts want to keep the score at zero for a long time this time
Just under a week ago, they lost to FC Barcelona 1:7. This time, of course, they want to concede fewer goals first and foremost and to do that they have to keep a clean sheet for as long as possible. They have already done this well against other teams, having only conceded 2 goals in the last 3 matchdays apart from the Barcelona clash. They have also only conceded 14 goals in 11 home games in the league. With 15 points, they are also in a good 13th place in the home table.
Valencia FC
System: 4-2-3-1.
Barcelona has its sights set on the semi-finals
FC Barcelona is still represented in 3 different competitions this year and naturally wants to win titles. Naturally, this should be easiest in the Cup. The visitors are already in the quarter-finals and are big favorites in their clash against FC Valencia. If they win, they would advance to the semi-finals. Hansi Flick will be expecting a similar performance to that of recent weeks. FC Barcelona are currently in absolute top form and have yet to lose a game in 2025. They are unbeaten in a total of 9 competitive matches and have won 7 of them. In addition to a 7:1 win against Valencia, they also defeated Real Madrid 2:5 in the Super Cup and Athletic Bilbao 0:2 during this period. In the Champions League, they are confidently in 2nd place in the round of 16. There they drew 2:2 against Atalanta Bergamo on the last matchday. The team proved that it can also play well defensively on the last matchday against Deportivo Alaves. Here they celebrated a narrow 1:0 home victory.

Who is going to stop this offensive?
With 60 goals in just 22 league games, Hansi Flick has already broken a record or two. They have scored 10 more goals than Real Madrid. They were also the best offensive team in the Champions League. There are several players in the squad who have scored 3 or more goals. However, the attacking trio of Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and Lamine Yamal stands out. The Pole has already scored 30 goals in 32 competitive matches this year, while Raphinha has 23 goals and 13 assists after 33 games. The 17-year-old Lamine Yamal has already provided 16 assists in 29 games!

Barca is once again the clear favorite - Our forecast
Clear starting position in the match between Valencia and Barcelona. Just under a week ago, the visitors defeated Valencia FC 7:1! We believe that the bats will be better prepared at home this time, but Barcelona will still win the game. We don't expect that many goals again, Valencia are too stable at home for that. We would recommend a betting tip of under 3.5 goals.
