Match Facts:
Real Madrid (2nd, 78 pts):
- Valencia have crossed paths with Madrid in the final stages of each of the last three seasons. On two of those occasions they burst Los Blancos' bubble, but last season Real Madrid won 3-2 at the Santiago Bernabeu in May 2016.
- Zinedine Zidane's men will be intent on capitalising on their fine form to keep pace with FC Barcelona at the top of the table. They have scored in every one of their last 57 games in all competitions – the best ever goalscoring record for a LaLiga team.

Valencia CF (12th, 40 pts):
- The Valencians have lost their last two league games, but they can take heart from their head-to-head record: They have only lost one of their last six encounters with Madrid in LaLiga Santander (W2, D3).
- Voro's men will look to draw on the quality of their outfield play and the reflexes of Diego Alves to try to stop the Madrilenians. The Brazilian keeper is the only shotstopper to have saved two Cristiano Ronaldo penalties since he joined the capital club.
