Valencia vs Real Madrid Analysis
Valencia Performance Recap and Analysis
It has been a welcome return to form in 2023-24 for Valencia, as they don’t face the threat of relegation for the second season running. They have shown on a number of occasions this term that they boast the quality required to compete for a European finish, but they come into this round after going two without a win in Spain’s top flight.
However, Valencia landed a famous 1-0 win over Los Blancos at the end of last season. This weekend, they will be chasing a second straight win against their rivals in front of their home fans for the second time in 40 years. Their chances could be improved based on the fact that they haven’t gone three league games without a win in La Liga since February 2023.
Key Injuries
Valencia have a near fully fit squad to select from this weekend, with their only injury concern being Thierry Correia, who misses out due to a thigh injury.
Betting Trends To Know
Valencia’s home record could be one of the key betting trends to consider before making Valencia vs Real Madrid betting picks. They have won five of their last nine home matches against Real Madrid, with just two defeats being suffered over that period.
Real Madrid Performance Recap and Analysis
It has been a very professional season to this point for Real Madrid, as they sit six points clear at the top of the La Liga standings. The Spanish giants have lost just once in their opening 26 matches this term, and they currently boast the best defensive record having allowed just 16 goals. That is exactly half the number of goals conceded by second-placed Girona.
This could be an important fixture for Los Blancos this weekend, as their consistency has dropped slightly in recent weeks after playing out two draws in their last four La Liga matchups. But, they returned to form in their previous fixture with a professional 1-0 win on home soil against Sevilla.
Key Injuries
Jude Bellingham is back in training, but he is unlikely to feature this weekend. Thibaut Courtois, David Alaba, and Eder Militao remain out indefinitely.
Betting Trends To Know
The absence of top-scorer Jude Bellingham has been felt in recent weeks for the league leaders, in which they have netted just one goal per game in each of their last three matches across all competitions. The only match in which they scored more than one in their last five was a 4-0 home win over Girona.
Valencia vs Real Madrid Betting Picks
Valencia’s excellent home record in this fixture deserves respect this weekend. Therefore, it could be wise to side with the home side picking up at least a point, especially given that Real Madrid have been goal-shy in the absence of Bellingham.
