Valencia will go into the game after a 1-0 La Liga win to defeat Mallorca in their most recent outing.
In that match, Valencia managed 44% possession and 8 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target. The scorer for Valencia was Diego López (50'). For their opponents, Mallorca had 8 shots at goal with 2 on target.
The numbers tell their own story, and Valencia have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing their opponents hit 9 goals overall. At the back, Valencia have clearly had some problems. We will just have to see whether or not that trend can be sustained in this game.
A look at their previous results shows us that Valencia:
- have not won against Real Madrid when they have played them away from home in the previous 16 league games. An unbelievably poor away record.
- are unbeaten in their previous 3 league matches away from home.
- have not won away from home in their last 17 league games. They must be getting so desperate.
