On May 21, the Mestalla will host the match of the 35th round of Examples, in which Valencia will meet with Real Madrid (Madrid). The start of the fight is scheduled for 19:30 Kyiv time.
Valencia
The team played in the final of the Copa del Rey a year ago, where only on penalties lost to the couple’s favorite, Betis. Then we finished in the Example in 9th place, but, firstly, even that was a considerable progress compared to the results of 2020/2021, and secondly, in the spring they sacrificed the championship for the sake of the cup. And you had to be Peter Lim to part with the coach, Bordalas, to replace Pepe with Gattuso, who never worked in Spain. As a result, a new coaching rotation took place in the winter, with the invitation of a local legend, Baraja. Not everything works out for him, but since the end of April, points have been briskly collected: they won in a row against Elche and Valladolid, brought the match against Villarreal to a draw, and in the last round they scored 2:1 on the Celta field.
Real Madrid)
The club fought in other tournaments in the spring. May began with a victory in the Cope del Rey. A win against Osasuna ensured that they had at least one domestic trophy this season. But, of course, the main task was to protect the status of the winner in the Champions League. There, the Spaniards in the playoffs played purely with the British. There were no particular problems with Liverpool and Chelsea, but then came the real test, in the form of battles with City. In Madrid, they played 1:1, and this was an objective reflection of the balance of power in the pair. The return match in Manchester was decisive, where they lost in the case, and brought it up to 0:4. At the same time, in the Example, it was not even particularly motivating that Atletico caught up with a neighbor in the table. Both last away matches, with Girona and Real Sociedad, were defeats by 2 goals, 2:4 and 0:2. Yes, and Getafe in the last round was beaten only by the only goal of Asensio in the 70th minute.
head-to-head statistics
Real Madrid have won all 4 of their last matches in La Liga. But in the Super Cup in the winter, he only passed Valencia on penalties after a regular time draw.
Forecast
Bookmakers believe that the Mestalla guests are rehabilitated in front of the fans for the failure in the Champions League. But Real is not perfect either, and Valencia needs a win – we bet on more than 2.5 goals (odds – 1.82).
