It has been another eventful week for Real Madrid with a humiliating league defeat and considerably more impressive European away win the backdrop for this Saturday’s game. They should get another stern examination here from a Valencia side.
Valencia have only lost 2 of their last 14 competitive games, both single goal defeats and they should be able to make a real game of this.
This is a fixture that traditionally produces lots of goals. All of the last 11 clashes between Real Madrid and Valencia have seen both teams score and only five teams in La Liga currently have worse defensive records than Real. Valencia aren’t one of those sides who will come and park the bus and having seen how Eibar tore into Real Madrid last weekend, they may be wise to think that attack is their best form of defence here. Overall going for Over 2.5 Goals & Both Teams to Score looks good, a bet that has landed in all of the last 10 league meetings between these clubs.
