Real Madrid visit Valencia with the intention of opening the gap with the followers Barcelona in La Liga. Los Blancos could obtain a four point difference with the Blaugranas if they are able to win two years later in Mestalla, a really bad stadium for Rafa Benítez and Carlo Ancelotti. Zidane has the full squad available for the first time in the season and Gareth Bale could start the game after having some minutes against Espanyol.

Valencia beat (2-0) Athletic Club on Sunday and they are now 7 points away from the relegation zone. The team is struggling the whole season and Voro is the third coach this season. Rodrigo and Santi Mina are sidelined, whereas Montoya and Gayà are major doubts for the clash.

Valencia (4-5-1): Diego Alves; Siqueira, Mangala, Garay, Cancelo; Parejo, Enzo Pérez, Munir, Orellana, Nani; and Zaza.
Real Madrid (4-3-3): Keylor Navas; Marcelo, Nacho, Varane, Carvajal; Casemiro, Kroos, Modric; Bale, Cristiano and Benzema.
