This Sunday, February 14, 2021, Real Madrid host Valencia on the occasion of a match of the 23rd day of the Spanish La Liga championship. The meeting will take place at the Estadio Alfredo Di Stéfano in Madrid and the kick-off will be at 4.15 p.m. In the provisional classification, Real Madrid are 2nd with 46 points and Valencia is installed in 12th place with 24 units. On the previous day, Real Madrid won in Huesca and Valencia went to a draw at Athletic Bilbao.
Real Madrid is in good shape!
Real Madrid have probably parted with their dreams of a new La Liga title.
Because not only are they 8 points behind the leader Atletico, but they also have one game more than them.
However, there is a danger that they will part with a place for the Champions League if they relax. As with the loss to Levante.
This loss actually interrupted a great series of 9 consecutive games without a loss in the league.
However, after her, the Whites mobilized. And they recorded two new consecutive successes.
Real Madrid have the 2nd strongest home defense in La Liga.
Valencia is stabilizing!
Valencia seems to be going through a slightly better period. Having only one loss in their last 6 games in La Liga.
The bats are making too many draws, already 9 so far.
And besides, in their last 9 championship visits to this stadium in Madrid they have 5 draws.
Prediction for Real Madrid - Valencia
My idea for this match is based on two points of reference.
First, I do not believe Valencia will make a double over Real Madrid after the 4-1 victory in the first match.
Secondly, with so many draws, I do not believe this trend will continue.
It turns out that the most acceptable choice is a victory for the Royal Club. And not just for the reasons given.
A more important factor is the thirst for revenge.
Keep in mind that in the first match 3 penalties were awarded for Valencia.
There will be no forgiveness now. And the victory for Real Madrid will be a difference.
I also guess that their improved defense will not allow a goal.
