Valencia are unlikely to make a push for European qualification this season but they have stabilised as a club under the leadership of head coach Ruben Baraja.

Real Madrid vs Valencia prediction
Real Madrid look to be warming up for a strong end to the campaign with Ancelotti already securing the Spanish Supercopa title back in January.
They are not at their free flowing best right now, with tight wins maintaining the push across multiple competitions, and they have won just one of their last five league games away at Valencia.
A draw would keep Girona and Barcelona’s hopes alive in the title race as Ancelotti looks to balance against the demands of the Champions League.
Prediction: Real Madrid 1-1 Valencia
