Barcelona vs Valencia time, TV channel, live stream, lineups, and betting odds for La Liga

After their dismal El Clasico win at the Bernabeu in midweek’s Copa del Rey, LaLiga leaders Barcelona return home to take on Valencia in the league game.

The Blaugrana frustrated Real Madrid away and stopped the opposition in the last third. That will restore confidence in the title fight after a lazy loss to Almeria last weekend that raised doubts again.

Madrid are seven points adrift and Barcelona will want to keep that gap alive to prevent further questions being asked about their domestic championship boost.

Valencia, meanwhile, are having a difficult season and are sitting in a relegation zone despite hiring a new manager just two weeks ago. Ruben Barajo has stepped in for the outgoing Gennaro Gattuso and while he suffered defeat on his debut, last time out he netted a win against Real Sociedad that left the club just a point from safety.
