Valencia are known for making life difficult for Real Madrid in LaLiga, with this clash coming at a time where Zinedine Zidane’s men desperately need to keep winning to secure the title.
Los Blancos bounced back from losing El Clasico last weekend with a 6-2 win over Deportivo La Coruna, where they rested all of their big names so they can be fresh for this upcoming clash.
Zidane’s men have dropped a surprising five points in their last two games at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, with both Atletico Madrid and Barcelona managing to take home share of the spoils.
In terms of clean sheets, too, they have kept just one in their last five home matches in LaLiga. Valencia will be looking to cause a few problems and exploit this on the counter attack.The away side are without Simone Zaza and Joao Cancelo due to suspensions, but captain Dani Parejo and Eliaquim Mangala are back after bans. Real Madrid welcome back Sergio Ramos.
Real Madrid will be at full strength, but Valencia are always a bit of a problem team for Los Blancos to deal with. The hosts should win, but they might have a scare along the way.
