This could be an interesting match as Valencia have their presumed home advantage while Real Madrid are ahead 8 points in the La Liga table.
The visiting Real Madrid played their last game only four days ago, a Champions League match. That game was also an away game, at Club Brugge. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Valencia form and stats
Valencia are steadily winning La Liga games and points here at Mestalla. 4 wins, 4 draws and 0 defeats is the summary from 8 games. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Valencia after consecutive victories at their own ground.
Valencia are returning here after visiting Ajax in a Champions League game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. A strong away win before that one, visiting Levante and winning 4-2.
Valencia have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Mestalla with 14 goals in 8 league matches. On the other hand, Valencia have conceded 8 goals.
Real Madrid form and stats
Real Madrid, who have the the best goal difference (+7) away in La Liga, have an excellent away record in the La Liga so far with 4-2-1 from 7 games. The visitors have performed well in their home games as well, building a total win streak of four games home and away. Real Madrid hope to make it five in this match. Real Madrid has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.
Two travels in a row for Real Madrid, whose manager Z. Zidane could celebrate last time after the Champions League win against Club Brugge. Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against Espanyol in the La Liga.
The schedule is very tough for Real Madrid now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A La Liga game at Barcelona is waiting in only three days.
Real Madrid are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 12 times in 7 away games so far. It's not easy to score on Real Madrid as they have only conceded 5 goals from these away games.
