Real Madrid hosts Valencia at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium on Thursday night as both teams play their rescheduled fixture in LaLiga. Here are some betting tips from this tie as Real Madrid look to keep the pressure on Barcelona at the top of the table.

Real Madrid will face Valencia for the second time in three weeks after their penalty shootout win over Los che in the Super Cup. 

Real Madrid are behind in the LaLiga title race and will be wary of a further slip-up. Los Blancos have not gotten into gear since the league resumed, winning only two of their four league games. 

Valencia are not in the best period coming into this game, having just sacked their manager, Gennaro Gattuso, after seven months on the job. The six-time LaLiga champions are currently 14th in the table and have yet to win a league game since the season resumed.
