Real Madrid vs Valencia predictions for Sunday’s La Liga clash at Alfredo di Stefano Stadium in Madrid. Real Madrid currently 2nd with 46 points host Valencia, 12th with 24 points. Read on for our free predictions and betting tips.
Real Madrid to overcome their injury worries
In their last match against Getafe, Real Madrid had 17 fit players. They lost Marcello in that match as well bringing Zidane’s injury worries to red alert.
Real won their last two matches with difficulty but at least that has kept them in the title hunt. They must keep on winning and hope that leaders Atletico will slip up.
Zidane will hope some of his injured players will recover by Sunday otherwise the Frenchman will have to rely on youngsters.
Valencia looking for vital points
In the reverse fixture earlier this season, Valencia beat Real 4-1. They have a dip in form ever since and were close to the relegation zone at one stage.
With 24 points they are just four points away from 18th placed Valladolid, hence they are not secure even at 12th position.
If they can play good defense and not concede in the first half, they may have a chance to hold Real Madrid and get their desired result.
Key Stats
Real Madrid vs Valencia Prediction
Real Madrid are odds-on favorites for this match. We think Real can create enough chances to score although in the last two matches it was quite difficult for them to find the back of the net.
Valencia will have an organized defensive tactic and try to close down all gaps between midfield and attack where Reals strength lies.
An outright win bet for Real pays quite low with the bookmakers thus we are going for goals at both ends. We predict both teams to score in this match.
