Barça-Valencia League match guide: schedule, where to watch, and lineups
Barça plays its first home game of the season away from Camp Nou
BarcelonaBarça and Valencia will face each other this Sunday at the Johan Cruyff Stadium (9 p.m., Movistar LaLiga) in a match corresponding to the fourth round of LaLiga. After the first international break of the season, club football returns. Hansi Flick's team has seven points out of a possible nine after wins at Mallorca and Levante and a draw with Rayo Vallecano. Although for now, it will be away from the Camp Nou, where work is continuing to bring it up to scratch, it will be the first match of the season that the Blaugrana will play at home. They will do so at the same stadium where just over a month ago they thrashed Como (5-0) in the Joan Gamper Trophy.
For its part, Valencia arrives after thrashing Getafe at Mestalla (3-0), which was the first win of the season for the team coached by Carlos Corberán. In the first two matchdays, the Valencians drew (1-1) against Real Sociedad and lost (1-0) in their visit to Pamplona.
Flick will be able to count on Roony Bardghji, registered with the reserve team, and Marc Bernal, who returns to the Barça squad more than a year after his injury. However, the German coach is without Ter Stegen, Gavi (injured in his right knee), Frenkie de Jong (with a minor injury to the external obturator muscle in his right leg), Balde (with an injury to the hamstring in his left leg), and Lamine Yamal (who has returned with discomfort in the pubic bone of his right leg). Corberán, meanwhile, will be able to count on the entire squad after recovering André Almeida and Thierry Correia.
