Valencia are heading into this match on a solid run of form, having won three of their last five games. Real Madrid, however, have been inconsistent, losing three of their last five and struggling to get results on the road. When these two sides have met in the past, the games have often been full of goals. In their last six meetings, five of them saw three or more goals scored, and both teams have enjoyed wins over the other in recent years.

Given that Valencia are in good shape and Real Madrid are struggling for consistency, this looks like a very close contest. The recent head-to-head history suggests it could be an open and high-scoring affair, but based on current form, the home side has the edge. This match looks likely to end in a draw.
