Real Madrid vs Valencia - La Liga: TV channel, team news, lineups and prediction
- Real Madrid host eight-place Valencia in La Liga on Saturday night
- Madrid were frustrated by Rayo Vallecano last weekend but were convincing in midweek
- Valencia have enjoyed bright start to the season after dismal 2022/23
Real Madrid host Valencia in La Liga on Saturday night hoping to continue their unbeaten run since falling to defeat at rivals Atletico in September.
While Madrid were left frustrated by Rayo Vallecano last weekend, Carlo Ancelotti's side produced a convincing performance in Jude Bellingham's absence in midweek as they secured their progression into the Champions League round of 16.
Los Blancos currently sit behind unlikely high-flyers Girona in the table, and the City Football Group-owned club could extend their advantage at the summit to five points before Madrid kick-off.
After endruing a dismal 2022/23 campaign, Valencia have started the new season brightly with Ruben Baraja at the helm. Baraja guided them to safety last season, and they've enjoyed a five-game unbeaten run heading into this fixture.
Here's 90min's preview of Real Madrid's upcoming La Liga fixture.

Real Madrid vs Valencia score prediction
Madrid's front three purred in midweek, but they'll be facing up against one of the stingiest defences in the division on Saturday. Valencia's open play xGA is the second-lowest in La Liga.
The visitors will be keen to surrender territory and sit compactly in their 4-4-2 mid-block, hoping to frustrate the hosts. Madrid have struggled against such ploys at times already this season, but the verve they played with going forward on Wednesday should see them pick the lock once or twice this weekend.
Prediction: Real Madrid 2-0 Valencia
