Barcelona will be aiming to make the perfect start to their 2024-25 La Liga campaign when they head to Mestalla on Saturday evening to take on Valencia.

The Catalan giants are now under the leadership of Hansi Flick, with the German replacing Xavi at the helm, and he will be bidding to oversee a title challenge this term.

Valencia, meanwhile, finished ninth in Spain’s top flight last season, and Los Che will be hoping to push for European football during the new campaign.

Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides ahead of this weekend’s contest.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 227
Valencia wins: 59
Draws: 57
Barcelona wins: 111

Barcelona have tackled Valencia on 227 occasions throughout their history, and the Catalan giants lead the head-to-head record, having won 111 times to Valencia’s 59, while there have also been 57 draws between the two teams.

Valencia have not managed to beat Barcelona since January 2020, which was a 2-0 home success in La Liga; since then, the pair have met eight times in the league, and Barcelona have posted six wins, including a 4-2 success in their home fixture last term.

That said, the points were shared in a 1-1 draw at Mestalla in the league last season, and two of Barcelona’s last three victories over Valencia have been by a single goal.

The last non-La Liga game between the two sides took place in May 2019, with Valencia running out 2-1 winners in the Copa del Rey final.

However, Los Che have only beaten Barcelona on three occasions in all competitions since November 2014, while they have overcome the Catalan side just four times since March 2008.

In La Liga, the two teams have locked horns on 178 occasions throughout history, with Barcelona winning 89 times, but Valencia have also posted 43 league victories.

Barcelona have won six of the last seven league meetings between the two sides, while they have lost just once to Los Che in Spain’s top flight since April 2016.

Lionel Messi is unsurprisingly the leading goalscorer in this particular fixture, finding the back of the net on 27 occasions against Valencia during his time at Barcelona.

Barcelona went on a five-game winning run against Valencia in La Liga between May 2021 and March 2023, but as mentioned, the corresponding game last season finished 1-1.
