The Copa del Rey quarter-final clash between Valencia and Barcelona promises to be a thrilling encounter on Wednesday 5th February 2025 at 11.30 PM Kenyan Time.
With a semi-final spot on the line, both teams will be eager to secure victory. However, based on recent form and head-to-head stats, one side clearly has the upper hand.
Recent Form & Team Performance
Valencia’s Struggles
Valencia have endured a difficult season in La Liga, currently sitting 19th in the table.
Their primary focus remains avoiding relegation, making this cup tie a welcome distraction.
Under Carlos Corberan, they have shown slight improvement, winning their last two home matches.
Los Che’s Copa del Rey run has been smooth, with four consecutive wins against lower-tier teams. However, they now face their toughest test yet.
Valencia last beat Barcelona in January 2020, and their recent 7-1 thrashing at the hands of the Catalan giants will be fresh in their minds.
Barcelona’s Dominance
Barcelona enter this fixture in top form. They are unbeaten in 2025, winning seven and drawing two of their last nine matches.
The Blaugrana have already lifted the Spanish Super Cup and topped their Champions League group.
Their last meeting with Valencia was a demolition job, with Xavi’s side claiming a 7-1 victory.
Although their latest league game ended in a narrow 1-0 win over Alaves, Barcelona have maintained strong attacking momentum.
With Robert Lewandowski netting his 30th goal of the season, their attacking threat is undeniable.
