In a postponed match of the 17th matchday of the Spanish La Liga, Real Madrid welcomes Valencia to the Santiago Bernabeu.
Cheers for Real Madrid on Sunday night, held to a 0-0 draw at home to Sociedad. A result that does her a great disservice as she performed very well and missed many great opportunities to score but she was misplaced and unlucky in the final attempt.
This was the 2nd loss of points in the last 3 matches for Real and more after Barcelona's victory yesterday, in its own postponed match of the same season, in Seville against Betis saw her great rival reach 50 points and plus 8 from her.
Valencia continues to worry, on Sunday it was defeated away from home by Valladolid 1-0. Despite the fact that in the first half she was good and had the moments to score, she was not effective and in the second half she paid for it as on the one hand her performance dropped and on the other hand the home team turned up the heat, resulting in the violation of the home and leave the match empty-handed.
Now having just one win in their last 10 games Valencia have slipped to 14th place with 20 points, just plus 1 from the bottom three.
This defeat and its generally bad image since the beginning of the year brought the removal of Gennaro Gattuso from the bench and Voro taking his place, who is always "ready" in similar cases.
At the same time, in the general bad atmosphere that prevails in the team, we also had the reaction of the people as about 200 people gathered outside the team's offices shouting slogans against the owner of the team, calling him to leave the team.
Real wants to return to winning ways in order to stay close to the leader Barcelona and today the opponent seems ideal as, in addition to the competition crisis, it also has extra-competition problems to solve. I think that Ancelotti's team will not be as unlucky as they were on Sunday and will easily return to scoring.
Tip: Real to score in both halves with odds of 2.00
