Valencia v Barcelona: Strikers to dominate as both sides continue hunt for La Liga title

It may only be matchday thirteen in La Liga, but Sunday's game at Mestalla is already being billed as a contest that will go a long way in deciding who ends the season as champions.

Barcelona's almost perfect start sees them head into the clash four points clear of a Valencia team who are the only other unbeaten side in the Primera Division, and crucially for the Catalans they have built up a ten point advantage over eternal rivals Real Madrid.

Zinedine Zidane's men will be watching on intently hoping that Barca can drop points, and thus make the title race a little more open than it currently appears.

Barcelona have made an impeccable start to the season but have largely been functional rather than sparkling, churning out victories while not playing particularly well; indeed, Erenesto Valverde's defence has been rock solid, conceding just four goals in 12 league games, but Sunday sees them face the only side that has come close to matching them for goals scored.

The Catalans are the most prolific side in the division with 33 goals scored and Valencia have netted 32 times, which is the main reason that both teams to score is offered at just 2/5 (1.40) and over 2.5 goals is priced at 4/9 (1.44) - these two bets wouold both have landed last season as last season Barca won 3-2 in this stadium before notching a 4-2 success at the Nou Camp.

More tempting is the price of evens (2.00) for both teams to score and either to win, though, with this selection paying out in each of the last three meetings, and both sides in this kind of form should provide goals.
