Here's our Real Sociedad vs Valencia Prediction analysis: Real Madrid will host Valencia at the Santiago Bernabéu in a pivotal La Liga encounter. With the season approaching its climax, both teams have significant stakes: Real Madrid is chasing the league title, while Valencia aims to distance itself from the relegation zone.

Current Form & Standings:

• Real Madrid currently sits second in La Liga, three points behind leaders Barcelona. They've secured three consecutive league victories, demonstrating strong attacking prowess but showing occasional defensive vulnerabilities. Their recent 4-4 draw against Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey, which saw them advance to the final, underscores both their offensive capabilities and defensive lapses. 
• Valencia finds itself in 15th place, just four points above the relegation zone. However, under manager Carlos Corberán, they've shown resilience, remaining unbeaten in their last four league matches (two wins and two draws). Notably, their away form has been concerning, as they have yet to secure an away win this season, making this fixture particularly challenging.

Head-to-Head Record:

• Historically, Real Madrid has dominated this fixture, winning 34 of the last 60 encounters, while Valencia has secured 12 victories, with 14 matches ending in draws.
• In their most recent meeting in January 2025, Real Madrid edged out Valencia with a 2-1 victory at Mestalla.
• Valencia's last league victory at the Bernabéu dates back to March 2008, highlighting the difficulty they face in this venue. 

Team News:

• Real Madrid faces injury concerns, particularly in goal. First-choice goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is sidelined, and backup Andriy Lunin has been dealing with a calf issue but is expected to start. Defenders Dani Carvajal, Éder Militão, and Ferland Mendy are also unavailable due to injuries.
• Valencia will be without key players due to suspensions: José Gayà, Luis Rioja, and Dimitri Foulquier. Additionally, Thierry Correia is out injured. These absences may force manager Corberán to adjust his lineup, potentially incorporating younger players or those with limited game time this season. 

Key Factors to Watch:

• Real Madrid's Attack vs. Valencia's Defense: With Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior in form, Real Madrid's offense poses a significant threat. Valencia's makeshift defense, due to suspensions and injuries, will need to be exceptionally organized to withstand the pressure.
• Valencia's Away Struggles: Their inability to secure an away win this season is a glaring concern. Facing a top-tier team like Real Madrid at the Bernabéu only amplifies this challenge.
• Midfield Battle: The performance of Luka Modrić and Federico Valverde for Real Madrid against Valencia's Javi Guerra and Enzo Barrenechea could dictate the game's tempo and control.

Prediction for the Match: Real Madrid vs Valencia

Considering Real Madrid's superior home form, Valencia's struggles on the road, and the significant absences in Valencia's lineup, the hosts are clear favorites. While Valencia may put up a fight, especially given their recent form under Corberán, it's challenging to see them overcoming the odds at the Bernabéu.
