After 13 wins, three draws and two defeats, which is actually a very good record Real Madrid is not at the top of the Primera Division because Barcelona have picked up five more points. The Royals still have a catch-up game to play. It is mandatory to win the game against Valencia in order to keep the pressure on Barca. A few days ago, the players were unhappy after the 0-0 draw against Real Sociedad. Overall, one of the last three matches were won. Before the 0-0 draw against Sociedad, Real Madrid have won 2-1 against Cadiz at home, before that again at home the result was 1-1 vs Girona. A narrow home win from the last three games, that 's what the fans who are used to success and many goals are not used to. After all, the team is still unbeaten in their own stadium. The guests are currently 14th in the league, just a point away from the relegation zone. Logically, after all, only five victories have been achieved. The fact that four of the five victories have been achieved abroad gives the fans little courage before the trip to the Bernabeu. Although the defense is actually relatively good, it has never been possible to finish an away game without conceding a goal. Although Edinson Cavani and Justin Kluivert are high-ranking attackers, things don't really work out. The fact that they haven't scored in three of their last four league games at the Bernabeu is another damper.
