Real Madrid

Real Madrid come into this match also tied in first place, with three wins and a draw in their opening games. Madrid are currently the top-scoring team in La Liga with 13 goals in four games, though admittedly they have started the season with quite a few defensive problems.

Madrid have a number of injured players at the moment, including Gareth Bale, Toni Kroos, Marcelo Vieira, David Alaba, Dani Ceballos, and Ferlan Mendy. Given that they will have played in the Champions League during the week, it is very likely that there will be a rotation of players in the starting eleven for this game.

Valencia vs Real Madrid Predictions

Valencia coming into this match in their best form for a long time, and have the advantage of playing this match at home. Madrid, too, are looking very strong and showing no signs of fatigue from their previous matches, although they have conceded quite a few goals along the way. The form of Vinícius Júniorand Karim Benzema, who look to be at their best, will be a decisive factor. We give this match to Madrid, but they will have their work cut out.
