Los Che to battle the Catalan giants in Copa del Rey.

Valencia are all set to lock horns against Barcelona for the Copa del Rey 2024-25 quarter-final at home. In the interesting battle, Valencia will give their all against the loaded Barcelona side to get to the semi-final. It is not going to be an easy task for the hosts as they are not in their best form.

Valencia defeated Ourense in their previous Spanish Cup fixture to get to the quarter-final stage of the cup competition. Los Che are in a bad spot when it comes to LaLiga as they are sitting in the relegation zone. Their previous outing against Barcelona ended in a nightmare after Hansi Flick’s men defeated them by a scoreline of 1-7.

Barcelona are finding their form back. In their last La Copa outing they thrashed Real Betis by 5-1 and sealed their spot in the quarter-final of the Spanish Cup. Hansi Flick’s men will be ready to face Valencia once again. In their last outing, things ended in the favour of Barca as they dominated Los Che.

Players to Watch

Sergi Canos (Valencia)

Sergi Canos is very beneficial for Valencia. The Spanish midfielder has assisted his teammates four times in four Copa del Rey matches this season. He has also scored a goal for Valencia. The 28-year-old should start for Valencia and then help his side give a proper fight to Barca. In their last fixture against Blaugrana, Sergi Canos was not part of the squad but this is the time to get the Spanish midfielder on the pitch.

Raphinha (FC Barcelona)

The Brazilian forward has caught the eye of many people due to his recent performances for Barcelona and the Brazil national football team. He has struck 12 goals in 22 league matches for FCB. Raphinha is going to play a major role in the Blaugrana’s attack. The 28-year-old knows how to find spaces and decimate the opponent’s defence. Hansi Flick will make Raphinha his first choice in the team for the Copa del Rey quarter-final clash against Valencia.
