Real Madrid Preview
Real Madrid was unable to overcome Real Sociedad during the last weekend. This result left them 5 points behind FC Barcelona in the overall standings, a difference that is becoming considerable, and they must now deal with it in this new match.
The Merengues know that there is no margin for error, so the mission is to leave everything on the field and improve its effectiveness in the attacking front. This is said because the main reason why they failed to win the match was their poor finishing, especially on the part of Vinícius Jr.
However, the numbers against Valencia are really positive, being unbeaten against them in the 17 most recent home matches in all tournaments, so they come into this date with a boost of confidence.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Thibaut Courtois, Nacho Fernández, Antonio Rüdiger, Éder Militão, Eduardo Camavinga, Toni Kroos, Dani Ceballos, Federico Valverde, Rodrygo Goes, Karim Benzema, Vinícius Júnior.
Valencia Preview
Valencia once again lost another La Liga match, this time against Real Valladolid as visitors by a score of 0-1. This result not only continues to sink them in the overall standings (in 14th place with 20 points) but also meant the dismissal of coach Gennaro Gattuso.
The Italy legend’s place will be taken by Voro, who has a complicated job with a squad that is not lifting its playing performance. In fact, they have failed to win in 9 of their 10 most recent domestic matches.
It should not be forgotten that the Mestalla team faced the Whites in the Spanish Super Cup, a duel in which they competed very well but ended up losing on penalties.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Giorgi Mamardashvili, Cenk Ozkacar, Eray Cömert, Cristian Mosquera, Jose Gayà, Andre Almeida, Yunus Musah, Toni Lato, Samuel Lino, Edinson Cavani, Samu Castillejo.
JefeBet Prediction
Real Madrid have won the last 3 games against Valencia in La Liga, scoring at least 2 goals and being far superior to their opponents in different aspects of the game. Although they are coming off the back of a draw in their most recent match, they showed a high level that gives hope to the fans and especially to their coach.
Valencia are not going through a good moment, neither with the departure of the manager nor with the results in recent weeks, so they will not have an easy trip to one of the most complicated fields in Spain and the world.
Therefore, the home team is expected to take the victory and stay in the fight for the league title.
Prediction: Asian Handicap for Real Madrid (RMA 3-1 VAL).
