The Matchday 11 clash in La Liga between Real Madrid and Valencia will take place on November 1 at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. Real Madrid vs. Valencia: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Real Madrid
Last week, Xabi Alonso's side secured a valuable victory over Barcelona. Not only did Real end their losing streak against their arch-rivals, but they also solidified their position at the top of the league table. Following El Clasico, their lead over the closest pursuer extended to five points. Madrid have won nine of their first ten matches in the current La Liga season, with their only setback occurring away from home. Their home winning streak in this tournament has reached nine matches. Notably, Real have scored consistently in 26 consecutive La Liga games. In the current La Liga campaign, the club has netted 22 goals, second only to Barcelona in this regard.
- At least three goals have been scored in seven of Real's last nine La Liga games.
- The team's uncompromising streak in La Liga spans 24 matches (20 wins, 4 losses).
- Madrid have scored in 18 consecutive home La Liga matches.
Predicted lineup for Real Madrid (4-5-1)
Thibaut Courtois – Federico Valverde, Eder Militao, Dean Heysen, Alvaro Carreras – Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni, Arda Guler, Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior – Kylian Mbappe.
Goalkeeper Andriy Lunin is suspended. Due to injuries, defenders David Alaba, Antonio Rudiger, and Dani Carvajal will miss the game. Midfielder Franco Mastantuono's participation is in doubt.
Valencia
Valencia's position in the standings is becoming increasingly tense. The team has not won since September 20, with their winless streak in La Liga now extending to five matches (2 draws, 3 losses). In the previous round, Carlos Corberan's side suffered a defeat to Villarreal at home. As a result, another setback has seen them fall into the relegation zone. Having accumulated only nine points, the club is currently in 18th place in the La Liga standings. It's worth noting that Valencia have yet to win away from home this season, collecting just two points from five away games, with only Osasuna performing worse in this regard.
- The club has conceded in 10 of their last 13 La Liga matches.
- Valencia have not scored more than one goal in six of their last seven away La Liga games.
- At least two goals have been scored in seven of Valencia's last eight La Liga matches.
Predicted lineup for Valencia (4-4-2)
Julen Agirrezabala – Thierry Correia, Cesar Tárrega, Jose Manuel Copete, Jose Luis Gaya – Javi Guerra, Pepelu, Luis Rioja, Arnaut Danjuma – Lucas Beltran, Diego Lopez.
Due to injuries, defenders Mouctar Diakhaby and Dimitri Foulquier, as well as midfielders Largie Ramazani and Filip Ugrinic, are unavailable for the game. Midfielder Lucas Beltran's participation remains in question.
Prediction for Real Madrid vs. Valencia
Real Madrid are still in great form, and their lead in La Liga is becoming more secure. Xabi Alonso's side have won nine of their first ten matches this season, although they rarely achieve big wins. This trend has persisted since Carlo Ancelotti's tenure: Madrid have only secured a large victory in two of their last 27 league matches, and these have strictly occurred away from home. At home, Real have not achieved a big win in 14 consecutive La Liga matches.
Valencia, in general, have not won in La Liga for a long time, which has seen them drop into the relegation zone. However, the team has character, which rarely allows them to give up even during challenging matches. As a result, Carlos Corberan's side have suffered a big defeat only once in their last 23 league matches. It's also important to note that Valencia typically find it more challenging away from home, but they have only suffered a big defeat in one of their last 13 away La Liga games.
Moreover, Valencia have not lost by a margin of three goals in five of their last six La Liga encounters with Real Madrid. Prediction: Valencia with a handicap (+2.5)
