Head-to-head statistics Real Madrid - Valencia

Real Madrid Team Overview
Real Madrid currently hold second place in the league. Their recent form is impressive, with eight wins out of their last ten matches highlighting the strength of Los Blancos. Earlier this week, they played a cup tie against Real Sociedad, ending in a 4-4 draw after extra time. Antonio Rüdiger's goal in the 115th minute paved the way for the capital club to reach the tournament final.
Recently, a significant controversy has surrounded Carlo Ancelotti, who is facing substantial tax debt issues. The Madrid prosecutor's office is seeking a four-year prison sentence for one of the most prominent managers of our time. Could this be distracting the Italian from his primary duties?
It's worth noting that the Galácticos are not without their injury woes. Dani Carvajal has been sidelined since October last year due to a cruciate ligament rupture. A similar injury has kept Éder Militão out of action since November 2024. Muscle injuries to Dani Ceballos, Thibaut Courtois, and Ferland Mendy cast significant doubt over their participation in the upcoming match.

Valencia Team Overview
Valencia seem to have found their stride towards stability. The "Bats" have picked up points in 7 of their last 8 La Liga matches. A four-point cushion from the relegation zone significantly eases the pressure on the players.
Interestingly, Diego Lopez was named La Liga's Best Under-23 Player for March. The Spanish forward shared his thoughts on working with Carlos Corberan: "He asks us to stay focused and keep working hard. It's a very demanding daily routine. He always demands 100% effort from us and himself."
One of Valencia's major personnel issues remains the absence of Thierry Correia. The Portuguese defender suffered an ACL tear back in October last year. Due to an accumulation of yellow cards, Dimitri Foulquier, Jose Gaya, and Luis Rioja will be unavailable for the upcoming match.

Editorial Prediction
Madrid are feeling the strain after their cup tie, and with a Champions League quarter-final clash against Arsenal in London next week, they might opt for a more conservative approach in the upcoming match. As a result, we don't expect a high-scoring game. Our pick is under 3.5 goals.
