Valencia might still be able to maintain 1 point, especially since this is the first match at the beginning of the season, so the initial points are important to support the continuity of the competition, both in terms of performance and mentality.
Seeing this, I won't be too aggressive with betting and I prefer this bet because I don't want to take risks in the first match even though Barcelona is still superior from past statistics, but the Flick era could be different.
We should be considering how we are going to end up with different results. Hansi Flick isn't a bad manager, I still do not think that he is better than Xavi, but he isn't worse neither and I believe that second place is right where Barcelona could finish, any worse and it would be terrible but if they finish first with this Real Madrid in the league, they may have one of the best titles for them.
