We have the same chance because we are both level. Porto came to the Bridge after a 1-1 home draw and almost knocked us out and after all, Roma won in Lyon, so it proves this "home advantage" is very overrated. After all, if Milan score 1st in the Allianz, they become favourites for the tie. If we score first in the Mestalla, it means Valencia must come from behind and win the game, like we had to do against Porto.
And the thing is, if Valencia sit back and play for the 0-0 (it appears that this is what they did against Inter), guys like Ballack, Lampard, Sheva, Drogba will shoot from distance. All are capable of producing a goal out of nothing. If Valencia come forward and attack, they run the risk of being counter attacked to death (like we did to Barca in 04-05 and to Man Utd in the Prem last season, although both were at home admittedly)
