Predicted Lineup: Mamardashvili (GK), Gaya, Yarek, Mosquera, Foulquier, Pepelu, Guillamon, Guerra, Diego Lopez, Duro, Fran Perez

Confirmed lineups will appear here around 60 minutes before kickoff.

Player to watch – Pepelu
Valencia signed Pepelu from city rivals Levante in a controversial move last summer and the young midfielder has quickly settled into life at Mestalla.
He’s been a key man throughout the campaign, starting every game and impressing with some composed midfield displays, scoring four and completing 81.7% of his passes.
