Real Madrid vs Valencia Preview

Real Madrid vs Valencia

Competition – Spanish Primera

Stadium – Estadio Santiago Bernabéu

Date: 1st December 2018

Kick-off time – 19:45 GMT

Real Madrid recovered from their shock 3-0 loss at Eibar last weekend to beat AS Roma 2-0 away in the Champions League in midweek and they will be looking to win their 6th game in 7 attempts when they take to the field in this game.

Los Blancos are currently 6 points off the top of the league table and 3 points outside the top four, so they need a win here to avoid being pulled further away from the title race.

Madrid have won 5 of their last six games, scoring 15 times and conceding 5, so they won’t be short of confidence ahead of the visit of Los Che in this game.

Valencia suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of Juventus in midweek.

That result effectively ended their run in the Champions League at the group stage and they will be looking to focus more on moving up the league table now.

Valencia come into this game in 11th position having won just 3 league games all season.

Los Che have just started picking up wins as they previously focused more on not losing games which resulted in 8 league draws so far.

Valencia have won their last 2 league games and haven’t lost any of their last 5 away games in the league, so they should be confident that they can cause Real Madrid problems at the Bernabeu.

Bookmakers have priced Real Madrid up as strong odds-on favourites to get all three points here while goal markets suggest this game will see 3 or more goals as over 2.5 goals is trading odds-on with bookmakers.
