Los Blancos will be playing their second game at home after the coronavirus pause. Will they be able to keep up the pace in the title race?

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

Real Madrid returned from the coronavirus break with a bang, beating Eibar 3-1. That win ended the struggles of Zidane's men, who had only won one of their last four prior to Sunday's clash. Real Madrid is yet to lose a home game, having won ten out of their 14 matches.

Valencia will enter this match on a two-game streak without a win. The last two games for Los Naranjeros ended in draws. To make matters worse, Valencia has not been able to win any of their last five games away from home, drawing two and losing three in the process.

What is Real Madrid and Valencia's position in La Liga?

Real Madrid makes it to this game in second place as a result of their 17 wins, eight draws and three losses. The Spánish giants are the team with the lowest number of losses and with the best defensive unit, with only 20 goals allowed in 28 games. Karim Benzema is the team's top scorer with 14 goals to his name.

Valencia is ranked seventh in the Spanish top-flight right before this game. Celades' men have won eleven games, with ten draws and seven losses completing their tally. The team has scored quite a handful of goals (39), but their defense has not been as consistent, which has led them to concede 40 times. Maxi Gómez tops Valencia's goalscoring charts with nine goals.
