Real Madrid vs Valencia prediction, H2H and probable lineups - April 5, 2025
One of the matches of the 30th round of the Spanish La Liga will be played in Madrid, where local Real Madrid will host Valencia at the Santiago Bernabéu. I propose a bet on the outcome of this clash with good chances of success.
Match preview
Carlo Ancelotti's team approaches the upcoming match in excellent form, having won three consecutive league games. During this period, they narrowly defeated Rayo Vallecano and Villarreal (both 2-1), and in the last round, they almost stumbled but managed to snatch a victory over Leganés at home with a score of 3-2.
The "Whites" confidently occupy second place in the standings, trailing the leader, Barcelona, by three points. However, it is worth noting that Real significantly lags behind the Catalans in goals scored in the championship — 20 fewer goals. In 14 home matches, Real has lost only once, with 12 victories.
Valencia has gained decent form and is unbeaten in the last four league matches. During this stretch, the team drew away with Osasuna (3-3) and Girona (1-1), and secured home victories over Valladolid (2-1) and Mallorca (1-0).
Thanks to these results last month, the club climbed to 15th place, increasing the gap from the relegation zone to 4 points. In the last eight La Liga matches, Valencia suffered only one defeat, achieving 4 wins and drawing three times.
Probable lineups
- Real Madrid: Andriy Lunin – Raúl Asensio, Antonio Rüdiger, Fran García, Lucas Vázquez – Eduardo Camavinga, Luka Modrić, Jude Bellingham – Brahim Díaz, Arda Güler, Kylian Mbappé
