The 2022-23 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of matches this week as Valencia lock horns with Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid side in a crucial encounter at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Thursday.
Valencia are currently in 14th place in the La Liga standings and have struggled both on and off the field this season. The away side slumped to a damaging 1-0 defeat at the hands of Real Valladolid over the weekend and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have largely failed to meet expectations this season. Los Blancos were held to a 0-0 stalemate by Real Sociedad in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this week.

Real Madrid left-back Ferland Mendy is set for around two months on the sidelines after sustaining a hamstring injury in the Copa del Rey win over rivals Atletico Madrid last week, while wideman Lucas Vazquez and defender David Alaba remain out with respective ankle and calf problems.
