Valencia vs Real Madrid Prediction & Betting Tips (2 March)

Valencia have righted the ship this season after a few years of languishing in the depths of the championship or even close to relegation as was the case last year. Installed in the first half of the table, the Ché club can even still believe in Europe but the task still promises to be difficult for this team which is six points behind Real Bétis who will play tomorrow. In addition, the residents of the Mestalla remain without a victory for two days. Defeated against Las Palmas 2-0, they were then held to a draw by FC Sevilla in their last match to date 0-0. Remember that Valencia did not play last weekend following a tragic fire and the storm in the city. Real Madrid, for their part, played well in their championship match last weekend at the Santiago Bernabéu against FC Seville and he did the job without shining in the game.

Indeed, we had to wait for the Croatian genius Luka Modric to return during the match to make the difference with a magnificent sequence, control-strike on the outside from the penalty area 1-0. This success made it possible to restart the machine which had been stalled by the draw conceded on the field of Rayo Vallecano 1-1, a week after the demonstration against Girona 4-0. Without Bellingham, there is clearly a dip in Madrid's entertainment but the Merengue still proudly occupy the leader's chair in La Liga with a comfortable lead of six points over Girona. Note that Casa Blanca has been undefeated for eight matches in all competitions for a record of six wins and two draws.

Absent due to a fractured vertebrae for several weeks, the important Andre Almeida could make his return to competition this evening. The same goes for Diego Lopez who seems to have recovered from his cheekbone injury but who remains uncertain. On the other hand, Portuguese defender Correia is still physically incapacitated and is missing for this clash against the great Real Madrid.

On a personal level, how can we not mention the imperial Hugo Duro who is having by far his best career season with 10 goals and 2 assists in La Liga.
