As the 2025/26 La Liga season concludes on Matchday 38, Valencia host newly crowned champions Barcelona at the iconic Mestalla Stadium on May 23/24, 2026 (kick-off 12:30 AM IST). Barcelona have already secured the title with 94 points, but they will aim to end the campaign on a high with a strong away performance.
Valencia sit around mid-table (9th with 46 points) and will look to spoil the party, relying on their home support and counter-attacking threats. Historically, Barcelona dominate this fixture, winning 92 of 181 La Liga meetings, though Valencia have shown resilience at home in the past.
Where to Watch: In India, the match will be available live on FanCode and DAZN. Check local listings for global broadcasts.
Predicted Lineups:
• Valencia (4-2-3-1): Dimitrievski; Núñez, Tárrega, Pepelu, Vázquez; Rodríguez, Ugrinic; Rioja, Guerra, López; Duro. Hugo Duro remains their main goal threat.
• Barcelona (4-2-3-1): García; Araújo, Cubarsí, E. García, Balde; Gavi, Pedri; Raphinha, Olmo, Rashford; Lewandowski. Key players like Lewandowski and Raphinha are expected to shine in Hansi Flick’s setup.
Barcelona’s superior squad depth and attacking quality should prevail, but Valencia could nick a goal on the break.
Score Prediction: Valencia 1-2 Barcelona. Expect an entertaining end-of-season affair with goals from both sides.
