What has been Valencia and Real Madrid's form ahead of this match?
Valencia makes it to Mestalla on an eleven-game streak without a loss in La Liga, with five of those games ending in a win. The white and black crew has kept six clean sheets during that run, while their strikers have found the back of the net 15 times.
Real Madrid gets to this game having won three games in a row, with two of those coming under Zidane. This will be Zizou's first away game since returning to Real Madrid's dugout, since the team's last away match took place when Santiago Solari was still their boss. That game ended in a 4-1 win for the Spanish capital giants, but did little to save the Argentine from getting the boot.
