Match Facts:

Real Madrid (3rd, 84 pts): 

- The Liga BBVA is more fascinatingly poised than ever, with just a point separating FC Barcelona and Atletico Madrid from third-placed Real Madrid. Los Blancos go into their penultimate domestic assignment of the season buoyed by reaching their second Champions League final in three years and gunning for an 11th victory on the bounce.

- The absence of Gareth Bale, Dani Carvajal, Luka Modrić and Keylor Navas could be keenly felt. Zinedine Zidane will not be able to call on the trio, three of the most important players in his squad, against Valencia. On the other hand, Karim Benzema and Casemiro are available for action again.

- "We've won our last 10 games and we've got to keep the run going," the French coach stressed ahead of this weekend's match.

Valencia (9th, 44 pts): 

- Having lost 2-0 at home to Villarreal CF last matchday, Los Che will seek to return to winning ways at the Bernabeu by replicating the performance they put in at the Camp Nou, where they triumphed 2-1 in what was their last away victory.

- Paco Alcacer has chalked up four goals in his last three appearances, taking his tally for the campaign to 13. Moreover, the in-form striker has hurt Madrid before: it was his equaliser that handed his side a 2-2 draw in the reverse fixture at Mestalla.

- "This is a stage on which we all want to show what we're made of," said Pako Ayestaran in the lead-up to his first trip to the Bernabeu as Valencia boss.
