With the title race still alive against Barcelona, Real Madrid head into the trip knowing that dropping points would further complicate their situation.

How Valencia and Real Madrid arrive for this LaLiga clash

Real Madrid continue to raise questions about their overall performances and remain heavily reliant on Kylian Mbappé, who rescued a late result against Rayo Vallecano. Sitting four points behind Barcelona, the Spanish giants are also dealing with the added strain of having gone through the Champions League playoffs, leaving little room for error.

Valencia, meanwhile, sit just one point above the relegation zone. The hosts come into the match after being knocked out of the Copa del Rey and following a defeat against Real Betis in the previous round of league action.
