Welcome to the Valencia vs Real Madrid LIVE BLOG for Matchday 12 of the 2026/27 LaLiga season, at Mestalla Stadium!
Starting lineups are confirmed!
THE MATCH PREVIEW
Real Madrid visit Valencia this Saturday, November 7, in a Matchday 12 clash in the 2026/27 LaLiga season. Los Blancos are looking to extend their winning run and close the gap on the league leaders, while the hosts need to make the most of home advantage to move away from the relegation zone.
The match will take place at Mestalla Stadium, with both teams facing very different objectives but sharing the same need for all three points.
VALENCIA LOOK TO MAKE MESTALLA A FORTRESS
Head coach Javier Aguirre's side head into the match on a high after securing a 1-0 victory over Elche at the Martínez Valero. However, their position in the standings remains a concern: Valencia sit 19th with nine points after 11 matches.
The challenge for Los Che will be to claim their first home win of the season and use the support of their fans to stop one of the leading title contenders.
One player to watch is Umar Sadiq, who is looking to establish himself as an attacking option, while Hugo Duro represents another threat to Real Madrid's defense. The striker has scored five goals in his LaLiga meetings against Los Blancos.
REAL MADRID LOOK TO CLOSE THE GAP ON THE LEADERS
Meanwhile, José Mourinho's team are enjoying an impressive run of form. Los Merengues have won seven consecutive matches across LaLiga and the UEFA Champions League, most recently defeating AEK Athens 3-2 in European competition.
Real Madrid sit third in the standings with 27 points, meaning a victory at Mestalla would put pressure on Barcelona and Atlético Madrid, who will also feature in one of the weekend's major fixtures.
On the individual front, Kylian Mbappé will be one of Real Madrid's main attacking threats. The French forward has scored 12 LaLiga goals and is enjoying an outstanding campaign. However, the visitors will be without Vinícius Júnior, who remains suspended for domestic competition.
Recent history also favors Real Madrid: they have avoided defeat in their last three LaLiga visits to Mestalla, recording two wins and one draw.
