Valencia C.F.

Valencia is coming into this match with the hope of getting a victory in front of the home crowd! Even though they are in the middle of the table, it seems as if they've managed to get a better form leading by three victories in the last five games in the Spain League.

At the same time, they do have something in their favor; and that is the recent acquisition of, Prandelli, their new manager. Prandelli is a man with a vast experience as a manager in the following scenarios: Serie A ( 449 games), and the Italian National Team (51 games).

In his first game as the team manager against Sporting de Gijon, he lead the team to a victory, his work in the squad was already noticed in the way Valencia played, the team switched from their regular 4-3-3 to a 4-2-3-1, seeking more solidity with 2 midfielders that could carry defensive duties in front of the defensive line.

Indeed, the incorporation of this experienced manager will better the actual situation of the team in the table of the championship.

Valencia llega a este partido con la esperanza de hacerse fuerte en su estadio y lograr un resultado favorable contra del Barcelona. A pesar de encontrarse en el medio de la tabla parece que han logrado conseguir una mejor forma gracias a las 3 victorias en las ultimas 5 jornadas de liga.

Al mismo tiempo un punto muy favorable a destacar es la reciente incorporación de Prandelli como nuevo técnico del equipo, una persona con vasta experiencia dirigiendo en la Serie A(449 juegos) y la Selección Nacional de Italia ( 51 juegos).

En su primer partido como técnico del equipo ante el Sporting de Gijón logro obtener una victoria, la mano del técnico se noto en el accionar del Valencia, en donde el equipo paso de jugar el acostumbrado 4-3-3 a un 4-2-3-1, buscando de darle mas solidez al equipo con dos medio campo que cumplan labores defensivas delante de la línea defensiva.

De seguro la incorporación de este experimentado técnico mejorara la situación actual del club en la tabla de posiciones del campeonato.

Barcelona

The visitors, Barcelona comes into this match highly motivated after getting an important victory at home against Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League with the final score being 4-0.

We can say with total security that Messi is fully recovered from his injury, in the last game, he scored three goals and that filled the rest of the squad with confidence because now, they can count on having the best player in the world in optimal conditions! Messi is a very powerful weapon when it comes to games that may be very even at the tactical level due to the good work of their managers.

However, recently there were some injuries added to the list. The Right Back Sergi Roberto, the central back, Gerard Pique and Left Back, Jordi Alba. Therefore, this is forcing Barcelona's Manager, Luis Enrique to rethink which defensive lineup to use against Barcelona.

Barcelona llega a este encuentro muy motivado luego de obtener una importante victoria en casa en contra del Manchester City en la Uefa Champions League por un amplio marcador de 4-0.

Podemos decir con total seguridad que Messi se encuentra totalmente recuperado de su lesión, ya que anoto en este juego 3 goles, lo cual llena de confianza al resto del equipo porque cuentan con el mejor jugador del mundo en optimas condiciones. Un arma muy poderosa a la hora de destrabar partidos que puedan estar muy equilibrados tácticamente por la buena mano de los técnicos en ambos equipos.

Sin embargo recientemente se añadieron a la lista de lesionados que ya incluia a Sergi Roberto, al central Gerard Pique y a Jordi Alba, por lo que Luis Enrique deberá de repensar en que esquema táctico propondrá en la línea defensiva para hacerle frente al Valencia.

How to Play

• Vote on the main post to enter the bet (main post rewards will also be added to the Stake Pool).

• Cast your Vote Bet on ONLY ONE outcome for which you bet on for the win (Multiple comment votes will be automatically disqualified by the script, unvote and revote counts as multiple votes and will be disqualified).

• After 24 hours, the post and related game comments payout to the pool; remember 25% voters rewards are deducted from the total post payout value first as per Steem curation rules. Voters are rewarded in standard fashion in proportion to their Steem Power holdings.

The Stake Pool:

• The remaining 75% of the total payout is paid out in 50% Steem Power and 50% in liquid currencies, the latter now varies in payout ratio after the new fork. To make the process less complicated, we have decided to use all paid out SBD to buy Steem in the internal market to create a grand total Steem Stake Pool.

• 30% of the Stake Pool will be retained, of which 15% will go to the writer/sports presenter of the post, and the 15% balance towards editing, development and advertising.

• 70% of the Stake Pool will be held until the event/game outcome is determined.

• Once the winning outcome is determined, we will execute a proprietary developed script that will divide and pay out the Steem rewards equally, using the Power Up method, to Mass Distribute SP to all participants that voted on the main post as the entrance fee as well as voted on the correct comment representing the winning outcome.

• Only participants with a Reputation of 35 or more will qualify to earn SP rewards, but non-qualifiers can still vote and comment in support of the redistribution initiative.

• Entry cut-off time is the earlier of the post payout or the start of the event.

• Please vote responsibly :).
