Barcelona will attempt to maintain their unbeaten record in 2025 when they travel to Mestalla for Thursday's Copa del Rey clash against Valencia.

The Blaugrana will be looking to enjoy another successful outing against Valencia after cruising to a dominant 7-1 win when the two sides faced off at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys last month.

Hansi Flick's side followed that result with a 2-2 Champions League draw against Atalanta, before they edged out Alaves via a 1-0 scoreline to move to within four points of La Liga leaders Real Madrid.

Barcelona are set to make a third consecutive appearance in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals, while Valencia are appearing at this stage for the third time in four seasons.

Ahead of Thursday's quarter-final, Sports Mole takes a closer look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between Valencia and Barcelona.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 229
Valencia wins: 59
Draws: 57
Barcelona wins: 113

Barcelona have tackled Valencia on 229 occasions throughout their history, and the Catalan giants lead the head-to-head record, having won 112 times to Valencia's 59, while there have also been 57 draws between the two teams.

In the last meeting between the two sides in January 2025, Barcelona won 7-1, which proved to be Valencia's worst La Liga defeat since March 1955 and just the eighth time in their history that they had conceded seven or more goals in a single league fixture.

Valencia have not managed to beat Barcelona since January 2020, which was a 2-0 home success in La Liga; since then, the pair have met 10 times in the league, and Barcelona have posted seven wins, including a 4-2 success in their home fixture last term.

The points were shared in a 1-1 draw at Mestalla in the league last season, but Barcelona managed to triumph when the pair locked horns on the opening weekend of the 2024-25 La Liga campaign.

Valencia took the lead in the 44th minute of the contest through Hugo Duro, with the forward heading into the back of the net.

However, Robert Lewandowski levelled the scores before the half-time break, and the striker then netted his second of the match from the penalty spot early in the second period to secure the win for Hansi Flick's side.

The last non-La Liga game between the two sides took place in May 2019, with Valencia running out 2-1 winners in the Copa del Rey final.

However, Los Che have only beaten Barcelona on three occasions in all competitions since November 2014, while they have overcome the Catalan side just four times since March 2008, demonstrating Barcelona's dominance.

In La Liga, the two teams have locked horns on 180 occasions throughout history, with Barcelona winning 91 times, but Valencia have also posted 43 league victories, which is certainly a respectable number against this opposition.

Barcelona have won eight of the last nine league meetings between the two sides, while they have lost just once to Los Che in Spain's top flight since April 2016.

Lionel Messi is unsurprisingly the leading goalscorer in this particular fixture, finding the back of the net on 27 occasions against Valencia during his time at Barcelona.

Cesar Rodriguez is in second on 18, while Luis Suarez managed 12 goals against Valencia during his time with Barcelona.
