Valencia vs Real Madrid

It is the meeting considered the derby of the thirtieth round of La Liga football, with a special motivation for the host team that is heading fourth in the ranking.
The battle between bats and the Zidane-led band has become very important in terms of the latest results, the hosts being very well placed to qualify in the Champions League for the second consecutive season. The match is scheduled on Wednesday, April 3rd, at 22:30 on the Estadio de Mestalla in Valencia and counts for the thirty-round stage of La Liga Santander.

Valencia: targets a place among the top 4 of La Liga

Who could believe, after the first part of the season, that Valencia will be able to recover strongly in the second part of the season and will be favorites to get a position in the first 4? The results of the last stage were favorable to him, and even if he is now in 6th place, he is the team with the best chance of winning again a Champions League. The difference from that position is 3 points, but the football practiced by the team is one that gives him great hopes. In the era, Marcelino became a solid defense and lethal on the counter. The match in the previous round, with Sevilla, is a very eloquent example. Valencia has not received a goal in 6 of the last 9 games played in La Liga. Dani Parejo, with 8 goals, remains the host’s main marker. He is the best player of the team with the double role of offensive actions coordinator, but also the main creator. Francis Coquelin and Cristiano Piccini are the most important absences in the host team.

• The probable team (4-4-2): Neto – Wass, Garay, Paulista, Gaya – Soler, Kondogbia, Parejo, Guedes – Gameiro, Rodrigo
• Coach: Marcelino Garcia Toral
• Injuries: Coquelin, Sobrino, Piccini, Domenech

Real Madrid: The main goal remains the second place in La Liga

For guests there is not much to be done in this season’s end. He came out of the Champions League and Copa del Rey, and in the domestic competition he has a 12 point difference from Barcelona. Even though mathematically there are chances for the title, in reality they tend to zero. Zinedine Zidane has the objective to determine the players to be based on next season, one in which he hopes to be much better than that. And it will not be difficult if we think of what has been achieved this year. The coach speaks of important changes for the coming season. No less than 13 players are targeted by these changes. Bale, Varane, Vallejo, Ceballos, Mariano, Brahim are the first target. The door is also open for Keylor Navas … Neither Benzema nor Lucas Vazquez feel comfortable. If the Real will transfer a top value, the two will jump out of the scheme. Karim Benzema, with 14 goals scored, remains the most important teammate for this season.

• The probable team (4-3-3): Keylor Navas – Odriozola, Varane, Sergio Ramos, Reguilon – Modric, Casemiro, Kroos – Bale, Benzema, Asencio
• Coach: Zinedine Zidane
• Injuries: Junior Vinicius, Daniel Carvajal
• Suspended: Nacho

Valencia vs Real Madrid Picks

In the last five direct meetings we have two wins on each side and a draw. Valencia is the team that has a superior motivation, qualifying in the Champions League. It is very close to achieving this goal and I do not think it will miss it right now, in a very good time. I will go on a double in favor of the hosts because any point is important in this battle for an entry in the top 4 of La Liga.
