Valencia-Real Madrid is a match valid for the 27th day of La Liga and is played Saturday at 9 p.m.: TV, formations and predictions
Valencia did not play last week: the match against Granada, which will be made up in early April, was postponed after the events in the city with that fire that broke out in a building and ruined the lives of many families. Rightly so. And so the team was able to prepare with more time available for the engagement against Real Madrid, which by now has taken off and is hoping to win again to keep the distance with Girona, which is chasing.
Let’s say that Carlo Ancelotti’s team starts with all the odds, despite what will be some heavy absences. One above all those of Bellingham, who could be ready anyway for the Champions League return match against Leipzig. It will be a particular challenge, the one at the Mestalla, especially for Vinicius Junior: the player last year stopped right in the middle of the match because he was the victim of racist insults. Ancelotti is expected to send him on the field from the first minute, although he will think about it more than he should and will make the choice only a few minutes before the start of the match. Evidently had the Englishman been there, the doors of the bench would probably have “opened” for the Brazilian. But at this moment there can be no calculations or even more turnover.
In the last away match Real drew on the field of Rayo but was, precisely, coming from the German trip to the Champions League. No international travel this week and Ancelotti could win without any particular problems. Especially for what promises to be no easy evening at the Mestalla for the hosts, who will obviously be a little affected by the events of recent weeks.
The Prediction
In a match that, therefore, should give at least three goals in total, a Real Madrid victory is very much in order.
