Real Madrid vs Valencia

Current streaks

Recent form

Real Madrid

Real Madrid have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with a notable run of three consecutive wins in La Liga before their Champions League defeat to Atlético de Madrid. Their most recent match, a thrilling 4-4 draw against Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey, highlights their high-scoring tendencies, with 83% of their last six games seeing over 2.5 goals. Despite their strong league position, sitting second with 63 points from 29 games, Real Madrid's defence has been somewhat porous, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last seven matches across all competitions. Their attacking prowess is evident, averaging 2.17 goals per game in their last six outings, but they've also conceded at a rate of 1.67 goals per game during this period. The fact that both teams have scored in 83% of these matches underscores the entertaining, albeit defensively vulnerable, nature of Real Madrid's recent performances.

Valencia

Valencia have shown mixed form in their recent matches, with a notable improvement in their last three games. They are currently on a three-match unbeaten run, securing two wins and a draw. The team's defensive record has been inconsistent, keeping only one clean sheet in their last six matches, which came in their most recent victory against RCD Mallorca. A particularly high-scoring encounter was the 3-3 draw away at Osasuna, contributing significantly to their average of 2.83 total goals per game. Despite their 15th position in the league table, Valencia have managed to score in five of their last six matches, with both teams finding the net in 67% of these games. Their goal difference of -1 over this period suggests a relatively balanced performance, although they have conceded more goals (9) than they have scored (8).

Recent home/away form

Real Madrid

Real Madrid have been in exceptional form at home, boasting an impressive five-match winning streak before their most recent high-scoring draw against Real Sociedad. The Los Blancos have been particularly prolific in front of goal, netting 16 times in their last six home fixtures, averaging a remarkable 2.67 goals per game. Their attacking prowess is further highlighted by the fact that 83% of these matches have seen over 2.5 goals scored. Notably, Real Madrid's 4-4 draw with Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey stands out as a particularly thrilling encounter, whilst their 3-1 victory over Manchester City in the Champions League showcases their ability to perform against top-tier opposition. Despite their offensive strength, the team have managed only one clean sheet in this period, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per game, suggesting there might be room for improvement in their defensive organisation.

Valencia

Valencia's recent away form has been characterised by a series of draws, with four of their last six matches on the road ending in stalemates. The team have struggled to secure victories, managing only one win in this period, which came in a Copa del Rey fixture against lower-league opposition. A particularly notable result was their heavy 7-1 defeat at the hands of Barcelona, which significantly contributed to their poor goal difference. Despite their defensive frailties, evidenced by conceding an average of 2.17 goals per game, Valencia have shown some attacking prowess, scoring in five of these six matches and participating in a high-scoring 3-3 draw with Osasuna. Their tendency to both score and concede is reflected in the statistic that both teams have scored in 83% of these games, whilst their matches have generally been tight affairs with 67% featuring under 2.5 goals.
