Real Madrid – Valencia

Real Madrid enter the clash at the Bernabéu as clear favourites, perched in second place with 12 points from four victories and a solitary loss, boasting a dominant 14‑4 goal difference. Valencia, languishing at the bottom in 20th spot, have managed only a single point from a draw, their record marred by four defeats and a meagre 1‑10 deficit. The Spaniards will be keen to extend their unbeaten run and solidify their push for the title, while the visitors will be desperate for a first win to spark any hope of survival. Given the stark contrast in form and firepower, the encounter is poised to be a one‑sided affair unless Valencia can conjure a rare turnaround.
