Valencia will take revenge on Barcelona on Thursday when the two teams come across in their Copa del Rey quarterfinals draw. The Catalans were 7-1 winners in their last meeting 10 days ago in the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Company, but this meeting is played in Los Che's House of the Mestalla.
It will not be easy for Valencia to get the shock, given that Barcelona has started in a very good form 2025. However, they seemed to turn things around since the new head coach Carlos Corberan, and they now have their last two games in the Mestalla (US Real Sociedad and Celta Vigo).
However, Valencia has received an important blow in the last 24 hours, as Corberan confirmed before the game during his press conference that without the services of the right -wing Dimitri Foulquier and Spits Hugo Duro he will be for the match against Barcelona, according to Barcelona, according to Barcelona, Md.
“Foulquier underwent tests due to discomfort and will not be available tomorrow. Of the rest of the players, Hugo Duro is in a similar situation. He did not train with the group, those inconveniences are still present and tomorrow he is not in the team with the team. “
The absence of Duro is a special blow to Valencia, as he scored in his last three performances against Barcelona. Los Che will have to rely on Umar Sadiq or Rafa Mir to be their starting striker at the Mestalla, while Max Aarons – who on loan from AFC Bournemouth arrived during the Winter Transfer window to make his first start.
It should be a compelling meeting between Valencia and Barcelona. Both teams will believe that they have a very good chance of making the last four of Copa del Rey this season, but there will only be one.
