Valencia CF goes against Real Madrid, as they continue to work hard, despite being manager-less right now. Valencia‘s manager officially left the club, as confirmed by the club on Monday by mutual consent. Real Madrid on the other hand are hoping to return to winning ways, as they suffered a major blow on their last game. As the title holder in the contest, they cannot afford to lose more points or they will continue to drop. This meeting on February 3, 2023, at 4:00 AM (GMT+8), will be hosted by Real Madrid.
These two teams are very familiar with each other, but from the last 55 matches these squad played, it was the hosts who have a good record. They won 31 of those last 55 matches, while the visitors won 11, and the remaining ended in draw. Additionally, the hosts also won their last three matches against the visitors, so expect them to be in a good momentum here. The visitors on the other hand will be eager to finally score a win against the hosts. They no longer want to prolong the winning streak of their opponent against them.
Valencia CF
Currently, this squad is at the 14th of the league table with 20 points, but a win in this match could bring them at the 11th with 23 points. However, it could be tough for them as they will play without a manager. This is after Gennaro Gattuso left the club, just seven months of being in-charge. This decision is mainly because of Valencia’s results since they returned from the World Cup break. Before this game, they suffered a 1-0 defeat against Real Valladolid, and will need to bounce back in this game. This squad are now in turmoil, and are now desperate for stability to be safe from relegation.
Due to their respective injuries, Jaume Domenech, and Nico Gonzalez are both ruled out in this game. Thierry Correia on the other hand remains to be a doubt in this game, after missing out four games.
Real Madrid
This squad looks to go back to winning ways after series of disappointing results recently. This is what they need to do, if they want to defend their La Liga title. Currently, they are at the second of the league table with 42 points, but a win could only make them retain this spot. In fact, this season, they have failed to meet the expectations of them. On their previous match, they suffered a 0-0 draw against Real Sociedad, which is why they are eager of wins in this game. They are in a middle of a slump right now, a momentum not helpful for them, or they will drop on their league table.
This squad have series of injuries, which is why recently, their results are not as good as before. Ferland Mendy, Lucas Vasquez, and David Alaba are all out due to their injuries. Luckily, Aurelien Tchouameni, and Dani Carvajal will be available in this match, and Luka Modric will be available to start as well.
Prediction:
Real Madrid (3.0)
Odds: -0.95
