Valencia vs Real Madrid Prediction

Valencia Form

Valencia have been a bit bleak in their last three matches, although it opened with a 3-2 victory against Espanyol. Unable to follow that up, they went down 2-1 against Real Betis, before handing over another win to Athletic Club in a 1-2 defeat. Valencia claimed a modest two wins in their past six home matches in the LaLiga. They also drew four and lost zero, scored eight goals and conceded six.

Real Madrid Form

Their past three matches saw Real Madrid beating Villarreal 0-2, losing 4-2 against Benfica, and beating Rayo Vallecano by 2-1. Real Madrid managed a decent return of three wins in their last six LaLiga away matches, in which they scored ten while also conceding four times. They also experienced three draws and zero defeats.

Head-to-head encounters tend to bring out the best in both sides, when it comes to goals. We see no reason for this trend to end here, and we expect an entertaining match once again between Valencia and Real Madrid.

Valencia fought their way to one wins and five points from their last eight games against teams inside the top six. They were on target eight times in these matches, but also let in 21 goals.
