Real Madrid vs Valencia: Continuing the momentum

(Baonghean.vn) - Real Madrid are currently enjoying a 10-match winning streak in the domestic league. Therefore, despite hosting their arch-rival Valencia, their current excellent form should make it easy for Los Blancos to secure all three points and continue their pursuit of the championship.

Since their narrow home defeat at the Bernabeu against their neighbors Atletico Madrid in round 26, the team under legendary French coach Zidane has shown very convincing form. Proof of this resurgence is their streak of 10 consecutive wins in the domestic league, earning them a full 30 points and now having the opportunity to equal Carlo Ancelotti's record of 12 consecutive wins in the 2013/14 season if Zidane's team wins their remaining two matches.

Real Madrid players are in high spirits after their unbeaten run.

With that exceptionally impressive run of form, Real Madrid's star-studded team narrowed the points gap, a gap that seemed almost insurmountable. They then, along with Atletico Madrid, had the opportunity to stage a spectacular upset against the reigning champions Barcelona, ​​with the points difference and league position now only separated by goal difference and a mere one point. This inadvertently made the La Liga title race even more exciting, dramatic, and close to being the most anticipated, especially since other national leagues had already determined their champions.

In the most prestigious competition in Europe, the Champions League, Los Blancos are also brimming with hope of completing their "Undecima" (11th Champions League title), having defeated wealthy English club Manchester City to reach the final held in magnificent Milan. The final hurdle for coach Zidane is their not-so-friendly neighbor, Atletico Madrid.

Returning to the match, facing their arch-rival Valencia is a huge challenge for Zidane's team. Especially since Valencia are showing quite good form this season. Currently, the team at Mestalla Stadium is 11th in the standings and seems to have no more goals to strive for. Perhaps Valencia will now play for pride and to stop Real Madrid in the race for the championship.

That's certainly true, because Valencia has always been a nemesis for Los Blancos. According to statistics from their last 10 encounters in all competitions, Real Madrid has only won 3 matches, losing 1 and drawing 6, with the last 4 matches all ending in a draw. In the first leg, the two teams also ended in a draw, with each side scoring 2 goals.

Los Blancos are predicted to face difficulties against their arch-rivals Valencia.

A major obstacle for Zidane's team in their match against Valencia at the Bernabeu is the wave of injuries plaguing Real Madrid. Never before has the Los Blancos injury list been so extensive. Recently, after the victory against Manchester City in the second leg of the semi-final, goalkeeper Keylor Navas and winger Gareth Bale have joined the ranks of injured players. Previously, players like Benzema and Carvajal also suffered similar problems, while Ronaldo is not in his best physical condition. This is a major headache for the legendary coach, as Real Madrid's machine relies heavily on the brilliance of stars like Ronaldo and Gareth Bale.

While the home team is plagued by injuries, Valencia has its best players available, with midfielders Andre Gomes and Enzo Perez having recovered from injuries and ready to play tonight. This will give coach Ayestaran's team more confidence in their away match against Real Madrid.

Despite the difficulties, with their excellent form recently and players eager to play like James Rodriguez and Isco, coach Zidane will surely know how to overcome the challenge posed by Valencia and continue the race for the top spot this season.
