Barcelona have continued to perform strongly, winning 3-1 over Real Betis to reach 94 points. Valencia face suspensions and injuries, while Barcelona remain without Lamine Yamal and Fermin Lopez but have players returning to training. Flick is expected to rotate, with several defenders pushing for recalls.
"Champions Barcelona travel to Mestalla on Saturday night looking to finish their La Liga campaign with another win against Valencia. Hansi Flick's side secured the title earlier this month and remain comfortably clear at the top of the standings, while Valencia still have hopes of sneaking into Europe heading into the final weekend. Los Che have produced an encouraging finish to the season under Carlos Corberan and remain in the race for a Conference League qualification spot."
"A thrilling 4-3 win over Real Sociedad last weekend kept Valencia within touching distance of seventh-placed Getafe, with just two points separating the sides ahead of the final round. Despite already being crowned champions, Barcelona have shown little sign of easing off in recent weeks. A 3-1 win over Real Betis last time out moved Flick's side onto 94 points for the campaign and continued what has been an exceptional domestic season."
"Valencia will be without Eray Comert through suspension, while Mouctar Diakhaby remains sidelined with a muscle injury. Several other players are doubts for the hosts, including Jose Gaya, Dimitri Foulquier, Lucas Beltran, Jose Copete and Renzo Saravia. Javi Guerra is expected to continue in an advanced role after scoring twice against Real Sociedad, with Hugo Duro likely to partner him in attack."
"Barcelona remain without Lamine Yamal and Fermin Lopez, but the visitors have been boosted by the return of Marcus Rashford, Frenkie de Jong and Ferran Torres to training. Flick is expected to rotate his side again, with Ronald Araujo, Pau Cubarsi and Alejandro Balde all pushing for recalls. Expected line-ups for Valencia vs Barcelona Valencia: Dimitrievski; Rendall, Tarrega, Nunez, Vazquez; Rioja, Ugrinic, Rodriguez, Ramazani; Guerra, Duro"
