Barcelona face a tricky visit from an improving Valencia side when the two teams clash in La Liga at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys on Sunday night.
The Catalans head into the match on a six-game unbeaten run in all competitions, winning five and drawing one, but they have lost their last three at home in La Liga.
Visitors Valencia have shown improvement under new manager Carlos Corberan, and they have embarked on a four-game unbeaten run since a 2-1 defeat to Real Madrid in his first match in charge.
Draw or Valencia - Double Chance - 10/3
Barcelona have been involved in some high-scoring games of late, most recently beating Benfica 5-4 in the UEFA Champions League after finding themselves 4-2 down with 12 minutes of normal time to play.
That is the third time in the last four outings that the Catalans have netted five times, having done so against Real Madrid in the Super Cup (5-2) and Real Betis in the Copa del Rey (5-1).
However, Sunday's clash may not be full of goals given the recent defensive improvements of Valencia, who have kept clean sheets in three of their last four assignments in all competitions.
Corberan has brought about a defensive stability to a side who had failed to keep a clean sheet in six matches prior to the appointment of the former West Brom boss, who almost caused a shock when losing 2-1 to Real Madrid in his first game at the helm.
Los Che impressed last time out when beating Real Sociedad 1-0, but the relegation-threatened side still desperately need points to haul themselves out of the bottom three and they will be eyeing something from this trip.
Barcelona have lost their last three home matches in the league, going down to Las Palmas (2-1), Leganes (1-0) and Atletico Madrid (2-1) and there is enough doubt to go against them.
With Valencia on a solid run of form and Barcelona coming off a hard-fought UEFA Champions League win in midweek, the visitors look worth backing in the double-chance market.
Jules Kounde to have over 0.5 shots on target - 5/2
There will be no shortage of attacking options on the pitch and Barcelona hitman Robert Lewandowski, who has scored five goals in his last two meetings with Valencia, will have plenty of support at 8/13 to score at any time.
However, there is value in the shots on target market and the 5/2 available on Catalans ace Jules Kounde to test the goalkeeper at least once is hard to ignore.
The 26-year-old France international has upped his attacking output in recent weeks, recording at least one shot on target in each of his last three appearances.
Kounde managed three efforts on target in the 1-1 La Liga draw against Getafe and it would be no surprise to see him fire an accurate or two shot once again.
Cesar Tarrega to be booked - 5/2
While Valencia are fancied to get something from this contest, they will still likely have plenty of defending to do given the amount of possession Barcelona are expected to have.
The pressure will be on Los Che to keep the Catalans out and there could be plenty of tackles flying in, which increases the probability of some cards being dished out.
One player who could be in danger of getting their name taken is Valencia centre-back Cesar Tarrega, who has been cautioned three times from 17 league appearances.
The 22-year-old has done well to stay away from the referee's view of late, avoiding a card in his last 10 matches, but he has been committing plenty of fouls and his luck may run out.
Tarrega made four fouls in the defeat to Madrid before then committing at least one foul in two of his next four outings, evidence of his tendency to get pulled up by the official.
