Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Real Madrid will try to recover from a heart-breaking 4-0 loss to Barcelona when they take on Valencia in the La Liga round 12. Kylian Mbappe and Co. missed several clear-cut opportunities to score in “El Clasico” and, no doubt, they are desperate to return to winning ways as soon as possible. The likes of Thibaut Courtois, Rodrygo, Dani Carvajal, and David Alaba remain in the recovery room, while veteran midfielder Luka Modric should be recalled to the starting XI.
Los Che, on the other hand, dropped two points in a 1-1 draw with Getafe to stay in the relegation zone. As the rock-bottom side have been struggling at their Estadio Mestalla this term, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Carlo Ancelotti’s troops. Midfielder Pepelu returns from suspension, while the likes of Rafa Mir, Mouctar Diakhaby, and Jesus Vazquez continue to miss out with injuries for the home team.
*This game has been postponed.
Highlighted Player (Kylian Mbappé):
Kylian Mbappe is a French footballer who plays for Paris Saint-Germain as a forward. The French rising star began his youth career at AS Bondy and in 2013 he moved to AS Monaco. After making 12 appearances for Monaco B, Kylian Mbappe made his debut for the senior team in 2015. Mbappe quickly established himself as a regular goalscorer, with the teenager finding the net 15 times in 29 appearances in the Ligue 1 in the 2016/2017 season.
In 2017 he moved to fellow French club PSG on loan, with the option of making the deal permanent. Kylian Mbappe scored 13 goals in 27 appearances for les Parisiens in the 2017/2018 and it has to be noted that Unai Emery’s troops eventually won the national championship.
Speaking of his international career, Mbappe played an important role for France at the 2018 FIFA World Cup finals, with the pacey rising star scoring a brace in a thrilling 4-3 win over Argentina in the last 16 of the showpiece tournament. The PSG attacker was born in Paris on December 20, 1998.
Highlighted Team (Valencia):
Founded on March 18, 1919, Valencia FC are a Spanish football club that compete in La Liga. Los Che play their home games at Estadio de Mestalla, the stadium which was opened back in May, 1923. The capacity of the venue is 50,000. Seeing that bats are quite common in Valencia, it is no surprise they are nicknamed the Bats.
Valencia made it to the Champions League final on two occasions (2000, 2001), but they were beaten in the title games by Real Madrid and Bayern Munchen respectively. The Spanish club, though, did well to win the UEFA Cup title in the 2003/2004 season, with the team beating Marseille in the final of the competition.
A number of top-class footballers were part of the club in the past, with the likes of Pablo Aimar, Ruben Baraja, David Albelda, Santiago Canizares, John Carew and Gaizka Mendieta all playing for the Estadio de Mestalla outfit. Valencia main colors are white and black, whilst they often where orange jerseys and shorts when playing on the travels.
