After a disastrous start to the season, Valencia have recently managed to pull themselves out of their slump somewhat. The hosts remain unbeaten in three consecutive matches recording one win and two draws. They have climbed to 15th place. The guests from Andalusia are a bit out of form and currently sit in 13th place with 16 points but have lost five of their last six league game, conceding at least two goals in each of those matches. Valencia have conceded only six goals in seven La Liga home matches this season, losing just two games. Most recently, Valencia secured a 1-0 home victory in the derby against Levante. Nevertheless, Valencia have struggled at times this season, particularly with scoring goals.
