In the 17th round of La Liga, Valencia and Barcelona will face off at the Mestalla Stadium. The hosts have 19 points, while the visitors have collected 34 and are tied for third place with Atlético Madrid. Since 2010, the sides have played 13 league matches at the Bats' home ground. Barcelona won seven of those, while five ended in draws — including four 1-1 ties. Over the last 16 years, Valencia’s only home victory came in the 2019/20 season with a 2-0 result. In the previous La Liga campaign, the Blaugrana snatched all three points in the 93rd minute, winning 1-0.

The Valencia vs Barcelona match on December 16, 2023, will be streamed online on Megogo.
At home, Valencia has only lost twice in seven games — to Real Sociedad (0-1) and Osasuna (1-2). In five of those matches, Los Che kept clean sheets. They also defeated Atlético Madrid 3-0 earlier in the season. According to Het Nieuwsblad, Club Brugge will try to sell Roman Yaremchuk in the winter window. The report notes that the Ukrainian striker was not Valencia's top target in the transfer market and was signed after failed attempts to land other players. So far, he has failed to impress on the pitch.

Barcelona has drawn three of its last away matches. The Catalans have kept clean sheets in only two of their seven away games — one of them being a 1-0 win over Real Sociedad. Nevertheless, in 2023, Xavi’s side registered the most clean sheets among teams from Europe’s top five leagues. According to Diario Sport, Arsenal has inquired about Sergi Roberto, with Arteta reportedly interested in the player. The Blaugrana is also in a legal dispute with German company Libero Football Finance, which owes €40 million for acquiring a 29.5% stake in the Barça Vision digital project.
