Valencia host Real Madrid on 7 November 2026 at 23:00 in La Liga Matchday 12. The hosts sit 19th with nine points from 11 rounds after a 1-0 win at Elche lifted spirits slightly. Real Madrid arrive third on 27 points, nine wins in their last 11, and fresh from a 3-0 away victory at Racing. Madrid have scored 28 goals this season; Valencia eight. The gap in firepower is stark, yet Mestalla remains a difficult ground for visiting sides.
Form and H2H
Valencia's last ten matches show two wins, two draws, and six losses, averaging 0.80 goals for and 1.69 against. Real Madrid have won nine of their last ten away games with one loss, averaging 2.90 goals for and 1.30 against. In their last six head-to-head meetings, Madrid won three, drew two, and lost one. The most recent fixture in February 2026 ended 2-0 to Madrid at Mestalla; in November 2025 Madrid won 4-0 at the Bernabéu.
Best bet
Over 2.5 goals. Valencia must attack to climb out of the relegation zone, and Madrid's attacking depth with Kylian Mbappé (12 league goals), Jude Bellingham, and Vinicius Junior will create chances. Valencia's defensive vulnerabilities, combined with Madrid's 28-goal tally this season, suggest a match with multiple goals. Mbappé and Bellingham's movement in the box, paired with Valencia's need to press forward, sets up a fixture likely to exceed 2.5 total goals. Mostbet price Over 2.5 at 1.66.
