On Saturday night, Real Madrid host Valencia at the Bernabeu, as the home side look to get back on track in La Liga.
Real Madrid’s results may have improved since the appointment of Santiago Solari as head coach, but Los Blancos have still won just two of their last eight outings in the Spanish top-flight. Last time out in La Liga, the home side suffered a 3-0 defeat at Eibar.
The European champions’ poor start to their campaign has left Los Blancos sixth place in La Liga, six points behind league leaders Sevilla.
Real Madrid’s recent league games have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five games.
Despite a poor start to their campaign in La Liga, the home side’s record at the Bernabeu has stayed relatively strong, as they have claimed six wins from their last eight league matches on home soil.
However, their recent home games in the Spanish top-flight have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four matches.
Valencia have been the kings of the draw in La Liga, as Los Ches have drawn eight of their last 13 matches in the Spanish top-flight. Too many draws have left the visitors 11th in La Liga.
However, Los Ches have now recorded consecutive victories in the Spanish top-flight, recording victories over Getafe and 3-0 against Rayo Vallecano last time out in La Liga.
The visitor’s recent games in La Liga have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in nine of their last ten league outings.
Los Ches are unbeaten in five away games in La Liga, while eight of their last nine away matches have produced under 2.5 goals.
Forebet predicts that Real Madrid will record a victory in a low scoring clash to stay in touch with the top teams in La Liga.
