A very important match for Real Madrid in the Spanish Primera Division against third spot holders Valencia as the team from Madrid trails Barcelona by 3 points after losing in the El Clasico.

Both Real Madrid and Valencia claimed all points in their matches from the league this week against Almeria and respectively Athletic Bilbao and both compensating for last week’s losses.

What other team could have spoiled Real’s perfect record at home than Barcelona in the biggest derby of the football world, leaving them with 15 victories in 16 played and a goal ratio of 50 scored and 15 conceded.

Valencia is third in the table and with a total of 59 points they sit 7 points in front of 4th Mallorca but with no hopes of advancing in rank due to Barcelona and Real’s insurmountable advantage at the top.

Although in home matches they look very solid, whilst playing away the team is experiencing real problems losing the last 4 played and ending up with embarrassing 7 straight matches without victory leading to a negative goal ratio of 23 scored and 24 conceded.

My pick: Real Madrid to win
