The Matchday 11 clash in La Liga between Real Madrid and Valencia will take place on November 1 at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. Real Madrid vs. Valencia: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Real Madrid
Last week, Xabi Alonso's side secured a valuable victory over Barcelona. Not only did Real end a losing streak against their fierce rivals, but they also solidified their position at the top of the league table. Following El Clasico, their lead over the closest challenger increased to 5 points. Madrid has won 9 of their first 10 matches this season in La Liga, with the only slip-up occurring away from home. Their home winning streak in this tournament has reached 9 games. Notably, Real has consistently scored in 26 consecutive La Liga matches. In the current campaign, the club has scored a total of 22 goals, second only to Barcelona in this regard.
- At least 3 goals have been scored in 7 of Real's last 9 La Liga games.
- The team's uncompromising run in La Liga has lasted 24 matches (20 wins, 4 losses).
- Madrid has scored in 18 consecutive home games in La Liga.
Predicted lineup for Real Madrid (4-5-1)
Thibaut Courtois – Federico Valverde, Eder Militao, Dean Heisen, Alvaro Carreras – Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni, Arda Guler, Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior – Kylian Mbappe.
Goalkeeper Andriy Lunin is suspended. Due to injuries, defenders David Alaba, Antonio Rudiger, and Daniel Carvajal will miss the game. Midfielder Franco Mastantuono's participation is in doubt.
Valencia
Valencia's league position is becoming increasingly precarious. The team has not won since September 20, with their winless streak in La Liga now extending to 5 matches (2 draws, 3 losses). In the previous round, Carlos Corberan's side suffered a goalless defeat to Villarreal at home. As a result, another setback has seen them drop into the relegation zone. With just 9 points, the club sits in 18th place in the La Liga table. It's worth noting that Valencia has yet to win away from home this season, having picked up just 2 points from 5 away games – only Osasuna has fared worse.
- The club has conceded in 10 of their last 13 La Liga matches.
- Valencia has not scored more than 1 goal in 6 of their last 7 away La Liga games.
- At least 2 goals have been scored in 7 of the team's last 8 La Liga matches.
Predicted lineup for Valencia (4-4-2)
Julen Aguirrezabala – Thierry Correia, Cesar Tárrega, Jose Manuel Copete, Jose Luis Gaya – Javi Guerra, Pepelu, Luis Rioja, Arnaut Danjuma – Lucas Beltran, Diego Lopez.
Due to injuries, defenders Mouctar Diakhaby and Dimitri Foulquier, as well as midfielders Largie Ramazani and Filip Ugrinic, are unavailable for the game. Midfielder Lucas Beltran's participation remains in doubt.

Real Madrid vs. Valencia: Match Prediction
Real is still in great form, with their lead in La Liga becoming more solid. Xabi Alonso's side has won 9 of their first 10 matches this season in La Liga, but it's worth noting that the team rarely achieves big wins. This trend has been observed since Carlo Ancelotti's tenure: Madrid has secured a large victory in only 2 of their last 27 league games, and these have occurred strictly on opponent's grounds. At home, Real has not won by a large margin in 14 consecutive La Liga matches.
Valencia, in general, has not won in La Liga for a long time, which has already seen them slip into the relegation zone. However, the team has character, which rarely allows them to give up even during unsuccessful matches. Thanks to this, Carlos Corberan's side has suffered a heavy defeat only once in their last 23 league matches. Additionally, away games are usually more challenging for Valencia than home ones, but a heavy defeat was seen in only 1 of their last 13 away La Liga games.
It's also important to note that Valencia has not lost by a margin of 3 goals in 5 of their last 6 meetings with Real in La Liga. Prediction: Valencia with a handicap (+2.5)
