Real Madrid will be looking to strengthen their position in the La Liga title race when they travel to face Valencia in Matchday 12 of the 2026-27 season. The two sides will meet at the Estadio de Mestalla on Sunday, November 8, 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 04:00AM GMT+8.
Los Blancos head into the encounter in impressive form, but Valencia will be determined to make home advantage count as they look to build on their recent victory over Elche.
Valencia Team News
Valencia appear to be showing signs of improvement following their managerial change, with the 1-0 victory over Elche providing a timely boost ahead of this difficult fixture.
Playing at Mestalla could also work in their favour, as the home supporters are expected to create a challenging atmosphere for the visitors. However, Valencia’s recent struggles on home soil remain a concern, having gone six consecutive La Liga home matches without a victory.
That record highlights the challenges facing the hosts, particularly against a Real Madrid side with considerable attacking quality. Valencia will need a disciplined defensive performance and greater efficiency in front of goal if they are to trouble the visitors.
Real Madrid Team News
Real Madrid travel to Valencia full of confidence after recording seven consecutive victories across all competitions. Their latest success came in the Champions League, where they claimed a dramatic 3-2 win over AEK thanks to a stoppage-time winner.
The result has further boosted morale within the squad as Jose Mourinho’s men look to maintain their winning momentum in La Liga.
Real Madrid currently sit third in the standings with 27 points, just three behind league leaders Barcelona. With the title race still finely balanced, another victory would be an important step towards closing the gap at the top.
Predicted Line-Ups
Valencia predicted XI (4-1-4-1):
Stole Dimitrievski; Arnau Martinez, Cesar Tarrega, Pepelu, Jose Luis Gaya; Guido Rodriguez; Pablo Maffeo, Aaron Mayol, Javi Guerra, Luis Rioja; Umar Sadiq.
Real Madrid predicted XI (4-2-3-1):
Thibaut Courtois; Federico Valverde, Ibrahima Konate, Dean Huijsen, Marc Cucurella; Aurelien Tchouameni, Bernardo Silva; Arda Guler, Jude Bellingham, Yan Diomande; Kylian Mbappe.
Match Prediction
Real Madrid have good reason to be confident ahead of this fixture, particularly given their strong recent form and impressive record against Valencia. Los Blancos have reportedly remained unbeaten in their last six La Liga meetings with the hosts under Jose Mourinho.
Nevertheless, Valencia should not be underestimated. The atmosphere at Mestalla could make life difficult for the visitors, while the hosts will be eager to build on their recent victory and deliver a strong performance in front of their supporters.
Despite the potential challenge, Real Madrid appear to have the quality and attacking firepower to come away with a positive result. Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham could prove decisive, especially if the visitors manage to exploit gaps in Valencia’s defence.
Valencia may find opportunities to score, but Real Madrid’s superior squad depth and attacking threat should ultimately make the difference. A competitive encounter is expected, although the visitors remain favourites to secure all three points.
Predicted Score: Valencia 1-3 Real Madrid
