The best Primera Division match will be played at the Iberian Peninsula this weekend. The “Bats” from Valencia will host Real Madrid at Estadio Mestalla.

Position in the table and condition of the team:
Real wins how it wants, from whom it wants and where it wants. Eleven matches with the balance 9-1-1 tell a lot about the condition of José Mourinho’s players. After an unexpected weak start of the season the “Royals” won 8 matches in a row and are now the leaders of La Liga and ahead of Barcelona by 3 points. The footballers of Valencia manage a bit worse. Unai Emery manages his team perfectly having lost for the last time probably 2 months ago (in a match with Sevilla 0-1). The “Bats” (24 points) have only 4 points less compared to the footballers from Madrid (28 points) and provided they win this match they can get closer to the opponent.

Potential and team situation:
The Spanish coach of Valencia has huge problems. Canales and Maduro don’t play due to injuries, and the main player of the first string Ever Banega was injured in the match with Bayer Leverkusen. The Argentinian assistant won’t be able to play for the following months. The mood in Madrid is excellent. Team spirit of the players grows from match to match. The matchup with Valencia will be as a match with Barcelona for the Meringues and underestimation of the opponent is out of the question. In this match with Valencia Di Maria won’t play and the appearance of Kaka, Marcelo and Carvalho is open to question, fortunately Arbeloa and Sahin are back to the game.

History of matchups:
Valencia cannot break Barcelona’s and Real Madrid’s complexes. From times immemorial the “Orange” have held high places in the Primera Division but in matches with ‘giants’ they probably don’t have the luck. It should be mentioned that none of the previous 10 meetings between these teams ended up in a draw. Real won 7 times and Valencia only 3. Three previous matches were convincing victories of the “Royals”: 6-3, 2-0, 2-0.

Forecast and grounds:
We think that there are no reasons to play with low coefficients for the team from the capital (1,50). The best variant can be a game at the market more than 2,5 goals (1,65), handicap on the guests side (2,25) or a stake for Real scoring not less than 2 goals in the match (1,70).
