Latest Real Madrid vs Valencia football match prediction

Real Madrid's packed schedule continues, with no time to rest after their dramatic Copa del Rey semi-final second leg against Real Sociedad on Tuesday night – where fans at the Bernabeu witnessed a thrilling eight-goal thriller that ended in a 4-4 draw. With a 5-4 aggregate score over two legs, Real Madrid advanced to the final and will face Barcelona at the end of April.

However, Carlo Ancelotti and his team cannot afford to be complacent in La Liga, as Barcelona still leads the table by three points. With the title race so fiercely contested, any slip-up at this point could be costly.

The two biggest clubs in Spain are not only competing in La Liga and the Copa del Rey, but are also among the top contenders in the Champions League. Looking ahead, Real Madrid will face Arsenal in the first leg of their European Cup quarter-final next week.

In their most recent La Liga match, Los Blancos secured a 3-2 victory against Leganes, despite being under pressure for much of the game. Now, they will aim to complete a double against Valencia, having already won 2-1 in the first leg at Mestalla earlier in the season.

Meanwhile, Valencia have not avoided defeat at the Bernabeu in La Liga since a 2-2 draw in August 2017, and they haven't beaten Real in the competition since March 2008.

Nevertheless, Carlos Corberan's team will have a physical advantage having not played since March 30th, with a 1-0 victory against Mallorca at home. This result helped them climb to 15th place, creating a four-point gap with the relegation zone. However, the battle for survival is still long ahead.

Valencia's biggest strength this season is their home ground – where they have earned 24 points from 15 matches, ranking 8th in La Liga for home performance. Conversely, their away form is terrible: they have only earned 7 points from 14 matches and have yet to win a single game.

As six-time Spanish champions, Valencia haven't been relegated since 1986 – and their home form will be crucial in the final rounds of this season.
