Real Madrid vs Valencia 08.01.2022

Real Madrid went through a shock start to 2022, going down 1-0 to Getafe via their second-earliest conceded goal of 2021/22 season last Sunday. Yet, the omens remain positive for the 34-time champions, as the Getafe defeat was preceded by an unbeaten run of 11 La Liga (LL) games (W9, D2). And the ‘Galacticos’ will hope to put that behind by recording a win at home.

On the other hand, Mid-table Valencia also experienced the sting of defeat in their last LL outing despite being favourites, but with ‘Los Murciélagos’ being outsiders here, the pressure to perform is off.

As a result, we fancy Real Madrid to get back to winning ways in front of their fans.
