Real Madrid Faces Valencia Test

Real Madrid face a tough away test when they visit Valencia on Saturday in the twelfth round of the Spanish La Liga.

Real Madrid enter the match in high spirits after securing seven consecutive victories across all competitions, the most recent being a 3-2 win over Greek side AEK Athens in the Champions League on Wednesday. They had previously defeated Barcelona at the Camp Nou and beat Racing Santander 3-0 in La Liga.

The royal club sit third with 27 points from 11 matches, three points behind leaders Barcelona, having won nine games and lost two. They have scored 28 goals and conceded 10, continuing their pursuit of the top teams as they aim to secure another away victory.

Meanwhile, Valencia hope to capitalize on home advantage and crowd support to maintain their recent upturn in form, following a valuable 1-0 away win against Elche in the previous round. This result ended a run of difficult outcomes and helped restore some confidence ahead of facing one of their main rivals.

The twelfth round kicks off on Friday with a match between Sevilla and Deportivo Alavés. On Saturday, Malaga face Racing Santander, Espanyol play Deportivo La Coruna, and Osasuna take on Athletic Bilbao.
