Valencia 1-2 Real Madrid

Current streaks

Recent form

Valencia

Valencia's recent form has been rather underwhelming, with the club currently languishing in 20th position in La Liga. Their last six matches have yielded only one win, which came against Girona in a 2-0 victory. The team have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring just 5 goals in their last 6 games, averaging a mere 0.83 goals per match. However, their defence has shown some resilience, keeping 3 clean sheets in this period. Valencia are currently on a five-game winless streak, which includes three draws and two losses. Their most recent match, a 1-1 draw with Getafe, highlights their difficulty in securing victories. The highest-scoring game in this run was their 3-2 home defeat to Las Palmas, which also represents their only match where both teams scored. Notably, 67% of their recent matches have seen fewer than 2.5 goals, indicating a tendency towards low-scoring affairs.

Real Madrid

Real Madrid's recent form has been somewhat inconsistent, with a mix of impressive victories and disappointing defeats. The team have experienced a run of three consecutive wins in their last five matches, including a high-scoring 5-2 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League. However, this positive streak was abruptly ended by a heavy 4-0 loss to rivals Barcelona in their most recent La Liga fixture. Despite their second-place position in the league, Real Madrid's defensive record has been a concern, with only one clean sheet in their last six games and an average of 1.5 goals conceded per game. The team's attacking prowess is evident, though, with 10 goals scored across these matches, resulting in a high total goals average of 3.17 per game. Interestingly, half of their recent matches have seen both teams score, and there's an even split between games going over and under 2.5 goals.

Recent home/away form

Valencia

Valencia's recent home form has been inconsistent, with their last six matches at the Mestalla yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. The team have struggled to find consistent goal-scoring form, netting 1.5 goals per game on average, whilst conceding 1.33. Despite their low league position, Valencia have managed to keep two clean sheets in this period, showcasing some defensive resilience. Their matches have been relatively entertaining, with an average of 2.83 total goals per game and both teams scoring in 67% of the fixtures. The most notable result in this run was a high-scoring friendly against Eintracht Frankfurt, which Valencia won 3-2, whilst their most recent home match saw them lose a five-goal thriller to Las Palmas. Interestingly, there's a perfect balance between low and high-scoring affairs, with half of the games featuring under 2.5 goals and the other half over 2.5 goals.

Real Madrid

Real Madrid's recent away form has been a mixed bag, with the team showing resilience but struggling to secure consistent victories on the road. In their last six away matches, Los Blancos have managed two wins, three draws, and one loss, demonstrating a tendency to share the spoils rather than dominate away from home. Notably, Real Madrid have been involved in several low-scoring affairs, with five out of six matches seeing fewer than 2.5 goals. The team's defensive record has been solid, conceding an average of just 0.83 goals per game, but their attacking output has been somewhat muted, scoring only 1.17 goals per match. Despite these challenges, Real Madrid have shown an ability to avoid defeat in most away fixtures, with their only loss coming against Lille in the Champions League. The team's ability to grind out results on the road has contributed to their strong league position, sitting second with 24 points from 11 games.
