Team Analysis:
Valencia sit 16th in La Liga but have shown signs of improvement, winning two of their last three league games. They face a strong Real Madrid side that has won six consecutive league matches and holds the second-best away record. Despite Valencia’s recent form at Mestalla, history favors Los Blancos, who defeated them 4-0 earlier this season.

Real Madrid face absences too, including Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham, with several others recovering from injuries. Alexander-Arnold may start, causing adjustments in midfield and attack for the visitors.

Real Madrid face Valencia without several key players, making the match challenging. Despite the absences, Los Blancos remain the stronger side on paper. They are expected to secure a crucial victory to maintain their title hopes.

Predicted Result: Valencia 1-2 Real Madrid.
