Command Analysis
Real Madrid
SpainReal Madrid went to international break with a 12-point deficit to top-placed Barcelona. Board can't be happy with that result, so rumours about possible signings of Dusan Vlahovic, Jude Bellingham and Alphonso Davies have started circulating. A 1:2 defeat to Barcelona crushed Real's hopes for the times and even a future of team's head coach, Carlo Ancelotti, is now under question.
Nonetheless, they are still on the hunt for the Champions League and Copa del Rey titles, but right now team needs to focus on the match against Valladolid, who lost to Real Madrid in four latest matches. Los Blancos had no defeats at Santiago Bernabeu for more than a year and now team will try to extend this streak. After 26 La Liga fixtures, The Whites have 17 victories and five draws, delivering 56 points and a 2nd position in the standings.
Mendy and Fernandez will miss the upcoming game.
Real Valladolid
SpainValladolid managed to win only one of six latest La Liga fixtures and an international break was probably a great opportunity for the coaching staff to rethink their steps in a goal of keeping the team in the elite division. Team is just two points above the 18th position and scoring is club's main concern at the moment, they found the net only 20 times in the current season.
Star defenders of Madrid team is unlikely to allow Valladolid to score at Santiago Bernabeu,especially with team's poor away record in the current La Liga season. Pucela average just 0,62 goals per game away and scored only once in three latest away matches against the champion.
Escudero, Amala, Sanchez, Machis and Anuarwill miss the upcoming game.

Tip and bets
Hosts are obvious favourites here, they have a much better squad than Valladolid, there are just a few teams in La Liga, who can match Real's ability. With Benzema on the pitch, hosts are unstoppable on the offense.
Our prediction - total over 3,5 goals
In our opinion, only a miracle can prevent Real from crushing a modest opponent. Los Blancos will probably try to achieve a success without putting that much of an effort.
