Los Blancos to edge a tight encounter
Real Madrid are currently on an eight-match unbeaten streak heading into this fixture against Valencia, which is why they are the favourites to win.
However, with Jude Bellingham currently out injured, Carlo Ancelotti’s team are struggling to score goals. A narrow 1-0 victory over Leipzig was followed by a disappointing 1-1 draw against Rayo Vallecano.
Yet, they bounced back with a late 1-0 win over Sevilla thanks to Luka Modric’s strike in the 81st minute.
Although Real Madrid hammered Valencia in their most recent head-to-head, goals are drying up at present. Adding under 3.5 goals improves the odds and stands as our first pick.
Bet 1: Real Madrid and under 3.5 goals @ 2.29 with Bet9ja
Valencia to keep Madrid at bay in the first 45
Real Madrid have not been able to lead at half-time in their last three matches, which is what makes this bet rather appealing.
As already mentioned, Jude Bellingham’s absence has hindered their progress. The England international is La Liga’s top goalscorer with 16 goals. This is almost a third of Real Madrid’s overall tally.
Despite this, they fought hard in the second half against Sevilla and Leipzig and scored crucial goals to win both matches.
Valencia have a strong home record, collecting 24 points from 12 matches. They might be able to hold Madrid in the first 45 minutes, but their quality should ultimately prevail.
Bet 2: Draw/Madrid @ 4.50 with Bet9ja
Brazilian to step up in Bellingham’s absence
With Bellingham out injured, Ancelotti hopes his two Brazilian attackers can step up and deliver.
Although Rodrygo has scored eight goals to Vinicius Junior’s seven, the latter has been in better form in recent weeks.
He has not found the net in his last three. Still, goals against Girona, Las Palmas, and Almeria, as well as a hattrick against Barcelona, indicate he can step up and prove to be the main man.
Vinicius Junior has history at the Mestalla. He’ll no doubt be keen to score and prove a point as his team close in on another title.
Bet 3: Vinicius Junior to score anytime @ 2.90 with Bet9ja
Young Spaniard holds the key to glory
If Valencia are to score, it’ll be no surprise to see Hugo Duro on the scoresheet. The 24-year-old forward is in his best season to date, with 10 La Liga goals in 25 appearances.
Duro has scored in two of the last three home matches against Athletic Bilbao and Almeria, with clever strikes from inside the box.
If the striker finds any room, the 24-year-old is capable of first-time finishes. This is why he’s proven to be one of the best in the league this campaign.
The former Real Madrid striker will be keen to show his previous club they made a mistake by letting him go. The odds are in favour of him scoring, as he’s generously priced to score anytime.
