What is the current position of Real Madrid and Real Valladolid in La Liga?
Following a tough start to life in the new league season, Real Madrid currently sits in the ninth position with 14 points after 10 matches. On the other hand, Real Valladolid is four places above Los Blancos having amassed 16 points after 10 games.
What is the form of Real Madrid as compared to Real Valladolid?
Momentarily, Real Madrid stands as the more inferior between the two clubs. Los Blancos struggled to find their feet under the departed Julen Lopetegui and recorded some unusual results during his tenure.
Over the course of the 10 league games, the current European champions have secured four wins and have been defeated on the same number of occasions as well. October was not exactly friendly to Real Madrid as the team could not manage a single win in La Liga. The last victory for the Merengue in the competition was via a 1-0 scoreline at home to Espanyol.
Relatively, Real Valladolid has so far enjoyed an impressive run of victories in La Liga this season. Sergio Soriano's men are on a steady uprising as they are unbeaten across all competitions in their last seven matches. Prior to the 1-1 draw with Espanyol in last weekend's La Liga, Valladolid was on a four-game winning streak in the competition.

Key point: Santiago Solari's La Liga debut
Real Madrid fans caught a glimpse of what life after Julen Lopetegui could be under the new manager in the mid-week's 4-0 thrashing of UD Melilla in the Copa Del Rey. After an uninspiring campaign in the domestic league, a new era beckons under interim boss Santiago Solari.
To boost his chances of securing the managerial role permanently, a win over Valladolid would be a step in the right direction for the former Real Madrid midfielder.
