## Key points

- Real Madrid are chasing a seventh straight win.
- Valencia have nine points from 11 matches.
- Madrid are forecast to have a 70.4 per cent chance of victory.

## Summary

Real Madrid visit Valencia on Saturday seeking a seventh successive win across all competitions and a chance to draw level on points with La Liga leaders Barcelona, at least temporarily. The match matters to both ends of the table: Madrid are third, while Valencia are second bottom and trying to avoid falling further behind their rivals.

Madrid sit three points behind Barcelona, who face second-placed Atletico Madrid on Sunday. Valencia have nine points from 11 games and come into the match after beating Elche to end a three-game winless run. Jude Bellingham scored in Madrid’s 3-2 Champions League win over AEK Athens, becoming the youngest player to reach 60 appearances in the competition; the prediction model gives Madrid a 70.4 per cent chance of winning, compared with 12.7 per cent for Valencia and 16.9 per cent for a draw. Valencia’s Sergi Canos, Diego Lopez and David Otorbi are ruled out through injury, while Jose Manuel Copete is doubtful.
