Real Madrid's stronger league position, scoring record and four wins in five make the away side the logical result pick.

Prediction

Valencia welcome Real Madrid to Mestalla with the table and recent results pointing firmly towards the visitors. Madrid have won four of their last five league games, while Valencia sit 19th after one win in 10. My match prediction is a Real Madrid away win, with both teams capable of contributing to an open enough scoreline. Here's the case for it.

Here's the thing: this is a sizeable gap on the supplied league record. Real Madrid arrive third with 24 points from 10 matches, having won eight times and scored 25 goals. Valencia are 19th on six points, with one win, seven goals scored and 17 conceded. That tells you why the away side are such firm favourites, and I think the straightforward Madrid win is the right starting point rather than trying to get too clever with the long-priced home result.

The recent form strengthens that read. Madrid have taken four wins from their last five league fixtures, beating Barcelona 2-1 away, Sevilla 4-1 and Villarreal 1-0, while their only setback in that sequence was a 2-1 loss at Atlético Madrid. Valencia's latest five bring one win, two draws and two defeats. They have competed in spells, drawing 2-2 at Racing Santander and holding Athletic Club 0-0, but losses to Villarreal and Real Sociedad mean the results have not built enough momentum.

I wouldn't make this a clean-sheet prediction, though. Valencia scored twice against both Racing Santander and Real Sociedad in their recent run, while Madrid conceded in two of their last five. That leaves room for a home goal without changing my view on the result. Madrid's attacking output across the campaign makes 2-1 a sensible editorial score it respects Valencia's chance of scoring at Mestalla, but still reflects the visitors' much stronger record.

Real Madrid are the clear away-win lean, with a 2-1 scoreline the most plausible outcome.
