Hey, football lovers across Naija and beyond! Let’s yarn about the big match coming up between Real Madrid and Valencia at the legendary Santiago Bernabeu. After a sweet weekend where Real Madrid chop Barcelona 2:1 in the El Clasico, the whole of Madrid dey on fire with excitement. That win no be just for mouth; it give Real Madrid three big points for La Liga table, and dem dey sit pretty at the top, ready to show say dem be the real deal. With a five-point gap over Barca, this na the perfect time for Los Blancos to press harder and make sure nobody fit catch dem.
Team Form
Real Madrid dey on another level right now, and e no be only because of the El Clasico victory. If you check their recent games, dem don win nine out of their last ten matches across all competitions. The only time dem fall hand na that painful 2:5 loss to Atletico Madrid for the derby, but even that one don turn old story with five straight wins after. Under Xabi Alonso, this team dey play with serious swagger and hunger, especially when dem face teams wey no too strong. Their plan na simple: keep collecting maximum points from smaller sides to lock down that number one spot for La Liga.
But when you look Valencia side, na pure wahala dem dey face this season. The Bats don enter serious trouble, as dem no fit win any of their last five games. Wetin pain pass be say dem no even score for their last two matches against Alaves and Villarreal. Dem dey dangerously close to the relegation zone, and to come play for Madrid na like climbing Mount Everest without rope. Their attack no get power, their defence dey leak like basket, and to face Real Madrid wey dey hot like fire for their own backyard fit just be total disaster.
Tactical Analysis
Make we break this game down small. Real Madrid dey very sharp for attack and strong for defence, especially when dem dey play teams wey no dey top table. The way dem fit hold ball and create chances against smaller clubs na wetin make dem get nine wins from ten La Liga games this season. With Barcelona wey dey battle plenty injuries, Real get better chance to keep piling up points while their rivals dey struggle. Expect Los Blancos to control this game from whistle, using their midfield wey full of stars and deadly strikers to scatter Valencia defence wey no get head.
Valencia on the other hand, fit just park bus for defence and pray for one counter-attack miracle. But with the kind form wey dem dey, and no serious firepower for front, even that plan sef fit no work. The fact say dem no fit score for recent games show say something dey fundamentally wrong with their setup. To face team like Real Madrid wey no dey forgive, dem fit no even smell goalpost. Check out some key stats and points to note:
- Real Madrid: 9 wins from 10 La Liga games this season, with ogbonge home record.
- Valencia: 5 games without victory, plus 2 straight matches without scoring.
