1.Valencia host Real Madrid with 5 points ahead of their visitors but are far from favourites
Valencia enter this game in an unfamiliar position, finding themselves ahead of visitors Real Madrid in La Liga. Valencia have only lost once at the Mestalla so far this season and are a full five points ahead of the Los Blancos. Both sides' title challenges have ended and they appear to be in their own battle for third place. Automatic Champions League qualification is the prize available for LaLiga's third-placed team. Real have struggled this season and have won just one of their last four LaLiga games. But that win was an emphatic one last time out against Deportivo La Coruna. The Madrid side were 7-1 victors through a Luka Modric goal and braces from Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Nacho.
