Valladolid
After dropping two points in a 1-1 draw with Mallorca, Real Madrid will look to start a winning run in La Liga when they welcome newcomers Real Valladolid to their Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. Los Blancos were not at their sharpest in the season opener, but they are still seen as hot favourites to beat La Pucela in the Spanish capital. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Kylian Mbappe, who is eager to score his first La Liga goal, while both David Alaba and Eduardo Camavinga remain in the recovery room.
Left-back Ferland Mendy is banned for the match following his nasty tackle on Vedat Muriqi at the weekend. Real Valladolid, on the other hand, defeated Espanyol thanks to Raul Moro’s goal in front of home fans, but they will have a mountain to climb against Real Madrid, who are eager to get back on course. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
