Valencia vs Real Madrid Preview

Valencia welcome Real Madrid to the Mestalla Stadium on Sunday evening for a crucial La Liga encounter that kicks off at 20:00 GMT. Both sides arrive with contrasting recent fortunes in what promises to be an intriguing clash.

Los Che enter this fixture enduring a difficult patch, with their most recent outing producing a disappointing 2-1 home defeat to Athletic Club in the Copa del Rey on February 4th. Prior to that, they lost 2-1 away at Real Betis in La Liga and beat Espanyol 3-2 at home. Earlier in this sequence, they secured victories of 1-0 away at Getafe and 2-0 away at Burgos in the Copa del Rey. With three wins from their last five matches, Valencia have shown attacking quality but defensive fragility has cost them dearly in their two most recent outings.

Real Madrid arrive at the Mestalla in commanding form, with their most recent match yielding a 2-1 home victory over Rayo Vallecano on February 1st. Prior to that, they suffered a 4-2 away defeat at Benfica in the Champions League and won 2-0 away at Villarreal in La Liga. Earlier in this sequence, they demolished AS Monaco 6-1 at home in the Champions League after beating Levante 2-0 at home. Los Blancos have collected four wins from their last five matches, demonstrating their characteristic quality and resilience despite the setback in Portugal.

The head-to-head record heavily favours Real Madrid, who have won three of the last five meetings, with one draw and one Valencia victory. Most recently, Real Madrid cruised to a dominant 4-0 home win in November 2025, while they also secured a 2-1 away victory at the Mestalla in January 2025. Valencia’s sole triumph came with a memorable 2-1 away win at the Bernabéu in April 2025.
