Match Preview: Valencia CF vs Real Madrid CF

History:

Valencia CF will host Real Madrid CF on Sunday the 19th of September at Mestalla at 9 pm kick-off time (CET) on Matchday 5 of LaLiga Santander.

Valencia CF have welcomed Real Madrid CF 105 times across all competitions with a positive balance of 45 wins, 27 draws and 33 losses on home soil.

Last season saw a 4-1 thriller at Mestalla with Karim Benzema’s opener being cancelled out in style by a hat-trick of penalties from spot-kick specialist Carlos Soler who produced heroics from 12 yards out and a Raphael Varane own goal in the closing minutes of the first half.

Valencia CF will try to maintain their perfect home start to the season with a win against Real Madrid in front of the Mestalla crowd that will get behind the team in the standout game of Matchday 5 of LaLiga Santander.
