La Liga
The historical scales favor the visitors. Out of their last 12 encounters, Real Madrid grabbed eight victories while Valencia managed just three wins alongside one stalemate. Los Blancos won the last two meetings 6-0 on aggregate. This fixture has remained highly entertaining, averaging 3.08 goals per game.
Valencia team overview
Valencia enters this one on the back of a crucial but narrow 1-0 away victory against Elche. Los Ches are desperately fighting to discover a cohesive structure under severe defensive strain.
Javier Aguirre's men have struggled immensely for consistency, securing just 2 wins, 3 draws, and 6 defeats from their 11 league matches so far this season. It's a deeply worrying run that leaves them languishing down in the lower portions of the standings with a meager 9 points.
The team is enduring a flat-out abysmal spell at home. They are winless in their six league games at Mestalla this season, suffering four defeats while failing to score in as many games.
Hugo Duro remains a vital weapon up top, but the club desperately lacks depth given that no single player has managed to cross the 3-goal threshold in the league this season.
To make matters worse, defensive anchor Mouctar Diakhaby is still facing a prolonged period on the treatment table.

Real Madrid team overview
Real Madrid prepare for this one on the back of a 3-2 away win against AEK in Europe. The Whites are looking completely flawless as they boast a win in each of their last seven matches.
Jose Mourinho's men have been in imperious domestic form, though they still sit 3 points off the top of the table.
Shifting focus to their performances on the road, the capital club is maintaining a flawless standard. They enter this fixture riding a superb four-match winning streak on their travels across all competitive tournaments.
Kylian Mbappé is in absolutely scintillating form, leading the team’s scoring charts with 12 goals so far. The midfield is equally robust, as England international Jude Bellingham has added massive value by chipping in with 4 goals and 3 assists. While there are minor rotation knocks to monitor before kickoff, the squad boasts terrifying depth.

Prediction
Real Madrid should coast here. Their breathtaking away form matches up flawlessly against Valencia's miserable home record, especially with the visitors hammering home 20 goals in their last six outings. It won't be a completely dull affair. Mestalla always provides a hostile atmosphere capable of producing a stray consolation goal. I'm predicting a comfortable 3-1 away triumph. Honestly, backing over 2.5 goals looks like an absolute steal.
Four reasons we expect over 1.5 goals in the 2nd half of this game
- Five of the last six meetings between Valencia and Real Madrid finished with over 2.5 goals.
- Valencia scored averagely a goal per game in their last three home encounters.
- Real Madrid scored three or more goals in five of their last six outings.
- Bets on over 2.5 goals won in three of the last five games of Valencia.
