What has been the form of Real Madrid and Valencia ahead of this game?

Real Madrid won their mid-week match against Roma in the UEFA Champions League, which eased the tension created by their fourth loss in six La Liga games last weekend. Los Blancos have only been able to beat Valladolid and Celta in the Spanish top flight, causing them to slip back in the standings.

Valencia has played a nice brand of football, but they have only won three matches in La Liga. Good thing for them is that two of those came in their last outings. In fact, Valencia has only lost one of their last six games, with three of those ending in draws.

Valencia's struggles to win games have them sitting in the 11th spot in the Spanish top flight. Los Naranjeros have only won three games, with eight draws and just two losses. Valencia owns one of the best defensive units in La Liga, having conceded nine goals in 13 games.

Real Madrid vs Valencia controversy - Are Isco's days at Real Madrid numbered?

The game between Roma and Real Madrid caused quite a stir among fans, since Santiago Solari decided to send Isco to the stands.
