The Barcelona offense finally got going against Real Sociedad, and Robert Lewandowski scored his first and second goal for his new club. They will look to keep up their momentum this weekend against Real Valladolid.
The owner of the away side is a familiar face, as legendary Brazilian striker Ronaldo brings his side to Camp Nou this Sunday. They were able to grab one point on the road against Sevilla last week after losing 0-3 against Villarreal in Week 1.

FC Barcelona vs Real Valladolid Betting Tips
Key in on Barcelona’s Offense
I expect the Barcelona offense to continue to dominate. They will have no problems against this Real Valladolid defense. Unfortunately, the away side is most likely looking at a relegation season with not much to cheer for this year.
Real Valladolid conceded three goals to Villarreal in their home opener and it will most likely get worse this Sunday. Barcelona’s attack looked unstoppable in the second half against Real Sociedad and validated the money they spent during the summer transfer window.
Ansu Fati and Raphinha were electric off of the bench, and Ousmane Dembélé was fantastic on the wing. It would not surprise me if Xavi switched up the lineup this weekend and gave Fati the start, as his combination play with Lewandowski was impressive.
The Camp Nou faithful did not see any goals in their home opener, so this will be a welcoming contest for them.
FC Barcelona vs Real Valladolid Prediction
Barcelona 4-0 Real Valladolid
A drubbing in front of the home crowd is what Barcelona is going to accomplish this Sunday. They will most likely hold the possession of the ball for 70-80% of the game, limiting the chances Real Valladolid will have to score.
In their 1-1 draw against Sevilla, Real Valladolid only had 38% of the possession and mustered up only three shots on target all game.
Barcelona vs Real Valladolid Best Bets
➕ Match Result and Total Goals: Barcelona Win & Over 3.5 Combined Goals Scored (+105) at BetMGM Sportsbook
WAGER: 1 unit
I love the Over 3.5 goals in this game, but that is at (-110). By adding Barcelona to win to the bet, we get better odds.
They should have no problem scoring & holding the ball against Real Valladolid. Barcelona is and always has been a possession team that is very patient in working the ball around the box before finding the right pass to the goal scorer.
Ronaldo might have to come down from the owners box himself to help the team score on Sunday.

Another brace incoming for the new Barcelona striker, with Lewandowski surely full of confidence after getting off the mark for his new club. Valladolid's defence look set to struggle with one of the world's best forwards who is in excellent form.
Maybe their owner can share some tips on how to defend a top-tier forward.
