Real Madrid Host Valencia With Chance To Extend LaLiga Lead

Carvajal is absent, Rüdiger remains sidelined, Lunin is suspended, with Vinícius seeking to move on after an apology.

Overview

  • Madrid start the weekend five points clear and can move eight ahead of Barcelona temporarily by winning before their rivals play on Sunday.
  • Kick-off at the Bernabéu is 8pm UK, with the match available to stream on Disney+.
  • Previews widely back a home win, with several tipping Madrid to keep a clean sheet against goal-shy Valencia.
  • Valencia travel in the relegation zone after a poor league run, though they won 5-0 in the Copa del Rey in midweek.
  • Kylian Mbappé’s prolific season, cited at 16 goals in 13 appearances, is highlighted as Madrid’s leading threat.
