Prediction: Real Madrid to Win
Real Madrid's form has been inconsistent since changing their head coach. They only edged out Rayo Vallecano, the 16th-ranked side, by a single goal last weekend, not to mention their earlier defeats to Benfica and Albacete. According to local Spanish media reports, the Real Madrid dressing room has voiced dissatisfaction with Alvaro Arbeloa's team selection, and the club's hierarchy has warned that all players except Thibaut Courtois and Kylian Mbappe are available for transfer. It remains to be seen just how much cohesion Real Madrid still have in this match.
Of course, Real Madrid still stand a good chance of winning this game. A handicap of -1 on the Asian Handicap is a relatively low line for Real Madrid, and we back them to claim victory in this fixture.
Comprehensive Prediction Analysis
Valencia
Valencia have a record of five wins, eight draws and nine defeats from their 22 league matches this season, with 23 points leaving them in 16th spot in the table, one point outside of the relegation zone, but they are only three points off Osasuna in ninth.
The situation could change incredibly quickly in Spain's top flight, and Valencia have actually won two of their last three in the league, overcoming Getafe and Espanyol before suffering a 2-1 defeat to Real Betis at the start of February.Los Che were in Copa del Rey action against Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday night, meanwhile, suffering a 2-1 defeat to the Lions in the quarter-finals of the competition.
Carlos Corberan's side have picked up 17 points from their 11 home league matches this season, but they will be welcoming a Real Madrid side with the second-best away record in the division, with Los Blancos securing 24 points from 11 games.Valencia suffered a 4-0 defeat to Real Madrid in the reverse match earlier this season, while it was 2-1 to Los Blancos at Mestalla last term.
Valencia will be missing Cristian Rivero (suspended) and Mouctar Diakhaby (hamstring) against Real Madrid, while Thierry Correia (hamstring) faces a late fitness test.Hugo Duro is a former Real Madrid striker, featuring on loan for the club during his time at Getafe, and there will be a spot in the final third of the field for the 26-year-old, who has netted seven times in La Liga during the current season.There are not expected to be any surprises in the home side's lineup here, with Arnaut Danjuma in line for another spot down the left, while the experienced Jose Gaya will be at left-back.

Real Madrid
Real Madrid have only won on one of their last three visits to Mestalla, though, with the score finishing 2-2 in the stadium in March 2024 and 1-0 to Valencia in May 2023.Los Blancos were surprisingly knocked out in the last-16 stage of the Copa del Rey, so they have had a free week to prepare for this match, with the team not in action since recording a 2-1 victory over Rayo Vallecano in Spain's top flight last weekend.Alvaro Arbeloa's side have won each of their last six in La Liga during an excellent run, beating Alaves, Sevilla, Real Betis, Levante, Villarreal and Rayo Vallecano.
Real Madrid are second in the La Liga table, one point behind the leaders Barcelona, although the gap could be four points by the time that this game kicks off, with the reigning champions playing on Saturday against Mallorca.Los Blancos have two more league games, including a home fixture with Real Sociedad on February 14, before heading to Benfica on February 17 for the first leg of their knockout round playoff in the Champions League.
As for Real Madrid, Vinicius Junior is suspended due to the milestone yellow card that he picked up in the team's success over Rayo Vallecano last time out.Jude Bellingham limped out of the team's last match with a hamstring issue, meanwhile, and the England international is facing approximately three weeks out.Eder Militao (hamstring) remains out, but Ferland Mendy (hamstring), Antonio Rudiger (knee) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (thigh) could all be involved.Alexander-Arnold is being tipped to start, which would see Federico Valverde move into midfield, but Rodrygo has emerged as a late doubt after missing training on Thursday, so Brahim Diaz and Franco Mastantuono may both be in line for spots in the attack.
