Why Bet on Real Madrid
Real Madrid is not in the best shape for this match. Although their opponents were Real Sociedad, one of the best teams this season, they did not have the necessary effectiveness to open the scoring. Despite firing seven shots on goal, neither Vinicius, Benzema, or Rodrygo were able to beat the Real goalkeeper.
With this draw, Real Madrid now moves five points away from FC Barcelona, and, in addition, they will have to play this midweek match with few days of rest against a complicated rival like Valencia.
There is no doubt that Madrid needs to return to their best form immediately to continue with the mission of fighting for the LaLiga Santander title.
Why Bet on Valencia
On the other hand, we have FC Valencia, one of the most iconic teams in LaLiga Santander, undoubtedly having a season to forget. In general, this period will be a stain in the club’s history as adding to their economic difficulties due to the new stadium fiasco, they have 4 seasons without European Football since their last Champions League qualification. In this championship, they look closer to the second division than to reaching an international stage.
The team arrives at this matchday accumulating four consecutive matches without knowing the victory, with three defeats and one draw. Similarly, we must highlight a positive aspect of Valencia, as it is the only team in the lower part of the table with a positive goal differential at +4, as they scored 25 goals and conceded 21.
With five wins, five draws, and eight losses, Valencia is 14th in the table and only 1 point above the relegation zone.
Valencia could not with Valladolid in their last match and lost with a score of 0-1.
