Ousmane Dembele can steer Barcelona to victory over Valladolid

"Barcelona have beaten Valladolid eight times in a row. Fati and Dembele have both made their marks for Xavi's side already this season."

Back Dembele & Fati to score or assist & Barca to beat Valladolid to nil at around 4.57/2

Paul Higham's off to La Liga for Sunday and fancies Ousmane Dembele and Ansu Fati to do the damage for Barcelona...

Barcelona got off the mark last week and should double up as winless Valladolid arrive at Camp Nou on Sunday.

After a goalless draw in their season opener, Robert Lewandowski took just 46 seconds to score at Real Sociedad last week, but the game was won by substitute Ansu Fati.

The talented teenager came off the bench around the hour mark to provide two assists and a goal in 4-1 win that flattered Barca a bit.

Xavi is still working through his best line-up, but Fati must be in consideration for a start given how effective he was last week.

And at home Barca have failed to score in their last two La Liga games, but they've won their last eight against Valladolid while averaging over three goals a game.

It means that while Valladolid's majority sharehoulder Ronaldo may get a good reception upon his return, if he goes to the game, his team is likely to suffer a sizeable defeat.

Now Lewandowski has got his eye in, everyone fully expects him to score, but even then the 1/4 price on him to find the net here makes you shudder.

Raphinha may return to the starting XI as he settles into life in Barca, but a more impressive performer so far has been Ousmane Dembele, who has a goal from eight shots and three on target.

Fati has a goal, two assists and has hit the target with three of his four shots this season - all in just 58 minutes on the pitch.

As both of these players have proven to be equally as good creating as scoring, we'll take them both in the score or assist market and add to a Barcelona win to bil for today's Bet Builder.

Valladolid have scored just one goal in their opening two games and won't have anywhere near enough of the ball.
