Expect the Catalans to dominate possession, with Lewandowski and Raphinha likely to test Valencia\u2019s defense early. However, Valencia\u2019s recent form suggests they won\u2019t roll over easily, and a late goal from Guerra or Duro could make things nervy.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Predicted Score<\/strong>: Barcelona 2-1 Valencia<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Lewandowski is a safe bet to score, while Olmo\u2019s creativity could set up key moments. For Valencia, their best chance lies in exploiting defensive lapses, especially with Barcelona missing key players like Balde and Yamal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spanish La Liga\u2019s Matchday 4 wraps up with a blockbuster clash between FC Barcelona and Valencia CF on Monday, September\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":217,"featured_media":37047,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[661,2750],"class_list":["post-16070","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football","tag-barcelona","tag-valencia"],"reading_time":"4 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16070","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/217"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16070"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16070\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37047"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16070"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16070"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16070"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
