Real Madrid hosts Valencia in round 23 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, February 14th at Alfredo di Stéfano Stadium (Madrid)
The reigning champions of Spain are holding an unstable season and are already seriously behind the leading Atletico. Real Madrid lost points in two of the last five rounds, suffering from insufficient effectiveness of the attacking line. But soon the club will have to play in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League, where Zinedine Zidane's players set the highest tasks. A huge problem for Real Madrid is the weakness of the attack, where only Benzema occasionally looks good. But the Frenchman is irreplaceable, and the club lets the talented Jovic go to Eintracht and parts ways with Odegaard. Zidane will have to work with the available human resources, as well as pay attention to the trainees of the club academy.

Large-scale restructuring and a change in the vector of development - this is the state of affairs in Valencia. Javi Gracia continues to work with the club, and he is entrusted with building a new team on the ruins of the old lineup. The Bats occupy an intermediate 12th place in the standings, avoid the struggle for survival, and have long chances to get involved in the race to get into the Europa League. However, the club does not need European cups so far, given the staffing situation. The management is going to bet on young talents, who will have prospects of returning the team to leading positions in Spanish football. And Valencia’s youth respond to trust with a good level of the game. Musah, Gomez, Lee, Soler, Racic, Gabriel Paulista, and Gaya are holding a good season. Already in the summer, many experienced players can leave the team to further unload the payroll.
The capital's grandee still has chances to fight for the champion’s title with Atletico and Barcelona, but Zidane needs to stabilize the performance of his players. Valencia does not look like a club that can compete with the leaders of the standings. Javi Gracia's charges will play defense first, but such tactics will probably not bring them at least one point.
Prediction for the match: Real Madrid to win
