Real Madrid vs Valencia

Real Madrid face a rejuvenated Valencia at the Bernabeu as they keep tabs with Barcelona at the top of the table in La Liga.

Form

Real Madrid have been in impressive form heading into this fixture as they have won seven of their last ten games in all competitions.

Their last league match was a 3-1 win over Leganes making it four wins in their last five league games.

Carlo Ancelotti's side have flourished in attack with two or more goals scored in seven of their last ten games in all competitions while Over 2.5 goals have featured in four consecutive league matches.

The Spanish champions have been porous in defence, conceding in seven of their last eight league games while both teams to score have featured in five of their last six home league games.

Valencia have been poor in the league this season but head into this fixture on an improved run of form with five wins, three draws and two defeats in their last ten league games.

They have been better in attack as they have scored in nine of their last ten league games but still continue to struggle in defence as both teams have found the back of the net in six of their last ten league games.

Valencia's poor away record could be a concern, winless away from home in the league this season and conceding in nine straight away league games.

Both teams to score have featured in eight of their last nine away league games.

Verdict

Real Madrid v Valencia

Valencia lack the defensive solidity to contain Real Madrid's quality in the final third with Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham and Vinicius in good goal scoring form. I'll be backing Real Madrid Win and Over 1.5 goals.
