Valencia:

Struggling Valencia find themselves in a precarious 19th position as they prepare to host reigning champions Real Madrid at Mestalla. With just two wins from 17 matches and only two points from their last five outings, Los Che urgently need a turnaround to escape the relegation zone. Ruben Baraja's side can take some solace from their recent home record against Real Madrid, having earned points in their last two encounters at Mestalla, including a 2-2 draw last season. A spirited performance could reignite their campaign, though they face a daunting task against their formidable visitors.


Real Madrid:

Real Madrid will aim to reclaim the La Liga summit with a victory over Valencia on Friday night. Carlo Ancelotti’s men, fresh off a 4-2 triumph over Sevilla, sit second, one point behind Atletico Madrid. Despite an inconsistent first half of the season, Los Blancos remain a potent force, buoyed by their recent FIFA Intercontinental Cup win. With a packed schedule ahead, including Copa del Rey and Super Cup fixtures, Madrid will look to build momentum and assert their title credentials. Anything less than three points at Mestalla would be a major disappointment for the Spanish giants.
