Real Madrid take on the visitors Valencia in the round 17 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Thursday, February 2nd at Estadio Santiago Bernabéu (Madrid).
Real Madrid passed last season on the one breath in the domestic arena, and heart attack, but eventually triumphant in the international and it remains only to maintain its position. At first it seemed that, at least in the context of La Liga, they could hold on the first place. Galactikos started almost perfectly, including win over Barcelona in El Clasico. But then there were too many misfires in the fall, and already in the winter. In January, there was a defeat to Villarreal, a draw with Valencia and a defeat in the Super Cup final to Barca. But to Ancelotti's credit, it must be admitted that he quickly got out of this dive. In the Cope del Rey, Atlético was beaten, and even earlier revenge was taken against Yellow Submarine. As part of the domestic league, the royal club completed the always difficult trip to Athletic with a 2-0 victory. But as soon as it began to seem that the recession was over, a 0-0 with Real Sociedad followed. Now the backlog from the Catalans has reached 5 points!

Valencia last season noticeably added even in La Liga. Yes, we wanted more than the final 9th place, and in the cup, having gone to the final, they lost there to Betis in the penalty shootout. This was enough for Peter Lim to say goodbye to Pepe Bordalas, invited only in 2021. For his decision to replace the experienced Spaniard with the eccentric Gattuso, who never worked in the Pyrenees, the whole team now has to pay. The have already managed to fly out not only from the Super Cup but from the Copa del Rey, losing in the quarterfinals at home to Athletic, 1-3. In La Liga, the controversial results of the autumn segment were replaced after a pause by an already obvious failure. The Bats lost to both Villarreal and Cadiz, and with newcomer Almeria they played 2-2, although they led twice. After 0-1 with Valladolid on the road, they were no longer surprised. Moreover, the “puselanos” played just as well, and in the end they simply brought them to a fairly logical victory.
Before the aforementioned 1-1 in the Super Cup, followed by a penalty shoot-out loss, Real Madrid won three times in a row against Valencia. Los Blancos, of course, are not without their problems. But still, they host a team that has frankly fallen into a crisis at home. We bet that Real Madrid will be able to win here with a handicap of “-1 goal”.
Prediction for the match: Real Madrid to win with -1.0 handicap.
