It is a very one-sided match now. Valencia don't even have any goal attempt. They just want to secure a draw and a point. I also don't think Real Madrid will fail in winning this time. They must have learned their lesson from the last match. They shouldn't let Barcelona get away from them this easy. This kind of matches should be winnable for Real Madrid also. Barcelona are continuing to win even tougher matches these days. The Betis win was a good example for that.
If Real Madrid get another draw here the point difference with Barcelona will be seven. It would be really difficult to close that gap in that case.

Things are not going well in tonight game for Real Madrid as they are having difficulties to score against Valencia,this reminds me of the gold times of Valencia fighting for the title where Real had a lot of difficulties to win.I know this is not the case here and most likely they are going to win this game,in fact it is their last chance otherwise they can say goodbye to the title fight if they don't win this game and all of their focus should shift to the Champions League.
I hope we do not see the same draw as they had 0-0 against Athletic Bilbao last time around,that would be a disaster result for Real Madrid and would show that they are really lacking.

Madrid's match like for the first half will end with a score of 0-0.
At the moment, Madrid are still in control of the match and this is indeed what they usually do, there is nothing strange in their possession.
The chances are also quite good even though no goals have been created but there have been several threatening opportunities.
The players from Madrid are still not fit enough to make Ancelotti continue to experiment with their midfield because they are currently lacking players to be in the right position.
This method and style of play is known with Real madrid over the time, so seeing that they went through the first half with a draw but the major part is the second half where Real Madrid always makes goals records this is how their style of play has been for quite some time now.At the moment, Madrid are still in control of the match and this is indeed what they usually do, there is nothing strange in their possession.
The chances are also quite good even though no goals have been created but there have been several threatening opportunities.
The players from Madrid are still not fit enough to make Ancelotti continue to experiment with their midfield because they are currently lacking players to be in the right position.
So I expect the same thing to happen in the match, and if care is not taken, Real Madrid will score multiple goals in the second half of the game.

Today there is no reason for Real Madrid to draw or lose. The first half ended goalless for both teams although Rudiger found the net with header. Unfortunately, the referee judged that Benzema had committed foul after the protests of the Valencia players which ended with a VAR review. Real Madrid had the better game and managed to get some chances, but they will have to make the most of them in the second half if they are really motivated to reduce the points gap with Barcelona.This match will likely end in favor of the home team's victory, Madrid really controlled the game even though occasionally Valencia could also counterattack.

Madrid should have got one goal in the first half unfortunately it was annulled but in the first half Madrid still had chances as you say they controlled the game. I was surprised to see that Valencia couldn't do anything without a shot in the first half
I wouldn't be surprised if Madrid scored 2 goals in the 2nd half clearly they seemed more confident. 
Real Madrid again has trouble scoring and at half time it is 0-0 in the home game against Valencia. Usually goals are scored in the 2nd half, but last time they were unable to score at home and the match against Real Sociedad ended in a 0-0 draw. We cannot rule out that this will not happen again. Real Madrid has struggled to score this season. In recent seasons, they managed to find the net very easily and Benzema scored from all angles and positions. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to have found his form after his injury.
Barcelona defense was very good in the Real Betis match and gave confidence. Made good comebacks against their Real Betis counter attacks. Raphinha on the other hand made good use of Dembele's absence and showed herself.
Araujo was great as always. Lewandowski, whose suspension has expired, managed to score a difficult away goal despite playing bad football. This goal brought Lewa back to life after the punishment. This win for Barcelona was very important and tied the team on the way to the championship. Everything seems to be fine in Barcelona.

Your expectation is almost wrong, mate. In the 45+3 minute Antonio Rudiger scored a goal, but the goal was disallowed after VAR. Real Madrid played quite badly today. Although they dominated the game, it was not enough to get them 1 goal in the first half. But if they can maintain their dominance in the second half, I have no doubt that they will win this match, because since the start of the match Valencia has not had even one shot attempt.
I don't really believe Real Madrid can win the game even if they are dominating the attack at the moment. Valencia appeared in high spirits because they were afraid to lose, so Valencia should only try to play and create chances. Losing is possibility for Valencia, but they are expected to be able to steal points at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.
Why do you feel doubt about Real Madrid? They are dominating the match, they are playing at home, and they have a big motivation to shorten the point gap with Barcelona. For all these reasons, I believe Real Madrid must win this match. Well, although they can't score in the first half, I am sure they will score in the second half. In several matches, Real Madrid often failed to score in the first half, but they were more focused to score in the second half. 
Now Eder Militao has asked the medical team and his coach to be replaced after he felt pain in his leg. Carvajal replaces him and obviously this will cost Real Madrid more stability in defence.
Don't be afraid, no problem although Militao can't continue to play. Real Madrid defense looks strong enough. Even, Valencia has no chance to score, no shot attempts in the first half. 
It is possible that Barcelona will continue to lead the top, with high points from the pursuit of Madrid, it seems appropriate if Barcelona takes the La Liga trophy. They have recovered from last season. And with the support of solid players that Xavi has now looks much more promising. Apart from all that, the impact of the world cup is that many young Spain players are more confident.
All possibilities will still exist and Madrid will not always be in a slump like this I think.
Now they have to look for 3 points when facing Valencia.
Madrid's match like for the first half will end with a score of 0-0.

Now, it's playing Real Madrid vs Valencia and has been in the 30'. No goal has been created so far, however, Real Madrid seems to dominate the match. Now, they are using Asensio as one of the trio starters in the front lines, not Rodrygo. Hopefully, Benzema and his friends can really give the best result in this match, that is the victory.

Real Madrid have not been doing well lately but I see them winning Velencia they already have a very good chance in the first four minute of the game. It is going to be an easy win for Real Madrid, because they need to put more pressure on Barcelona, so Barcelona won't be comfortable at the top of the table. Real Madrid is playing pretty well, and I see them getting a win in the this first half, Valencia has been really poor this season, I don't think they will put much pressure to the Carlos Ancelotti's side. But let's watch and see what happens after the 45 minutes. It will be a clean win for Real Madrid.
The matter is in Real Madrid itself, in how they can utilize and optimize every chance to score more goals and win the match. We have seen in previous matches that Real Madrid lost their chance to get the victory although they played quite beautifully and give some pressure. Now, it's playing Real Madrid vs Valencia and has been in the 30'. No goal has been created so far, however, Real Madrid seems to dominate the match. Now, they are using Asensio as one of the trio starters in the front lines, not Rodrygo. Hopefully, Benzema and his friends can really give the best result in this match, that is the victory.
Valencia don't seem to be a threat to Real Madrid. As of last 4 to 5 seasons, Valencia used to be a big name in the Spanish Laliga but the standard of the club has dropped so much. In thier last 5 outings, they lost 3, drew 1 and won 1 which is not a good result for them. They will not be able to match the force of Real Madrid.
Of course there is no real threat at home for Real Madrid. Valencia are not a strong team this season where they have only won 5 of the 20 matches played. But I think Valencia can also trouble Real Madrid like his last match in the quarter-finals of the Spanish Super Cup. At that time Valencia managed to force Real Madrid to draw for 12o minutes and the winner was determined by penalty. So even though Real Madrid is the favorite in this match, the possibility of draw cannot be ignored either.Valencia is also in bad situation after Gennaro Gattuso reached an agreement to terminate the employment relationship. So for this match they are led by Voro or Salvador González Marco as interim coach.

The problem is Real Madrid itself is experiencing a phase of difficulty in scoring goals, that's what they are worried about now. Valencia is not a very tough opponent for Real Madrid, but if they implement a good defense it will create bigger problems for Carlo Ancelotti's squad. However, I hope it will be a win for Real Madrid, no matter how many goals they score, so as not to let Barcelona move comfortably at the top of the table.

Barcelona are sitting in first position and they have earned 50 point so far out of a possible 57 point in the league and Real Madrid is at second with 42 point and would be playing today.
Pressure falls on Real Madrid who feels they did not have any need to make signs this January transfer window to strengthen the team, I think Real Madrid would play out a draw today.
This makes me remember the good old days - when Barcelona kept at the top and real Madrid followed behind simultaneously - you seee, I began to notice the change in form, game play, value and presentation as Barcelona would be begging for a draw win against Madrid even after being topped with several points.Pressure falls on Real Madrid who feels they did not have any need to make signs this January transfer window to strengthen the team, I think Real Madrid would play out a draw today.
Alot of pressure today as we can all relate,... cus they really need to claim today's match point as real sociedad will only need to win a match or two to topple them over the second position,lets see how it goes ...

An important game for Real Madrid tonight, at home against Valencia. They are not doing well, but we can perhaps say the same about Real Madrid. The deficit to Barcelona is already 5 points, if they don't win this match and Barcelona do, you already have a gap of 7 points. Then it becomes a difficult story. Especially the Classico between Barcelona and Real Madrid this season in Noucamp will probably be decisive. I assume that at that moment Barcelona is still first in the league. Valencia may not be the team of years ago, but they are capable of a good result against Madrid.
As I understand, Valencia will formally play today without a head coach, Voro will be acting. It's very important for Real to win today, and Valencia are not doing very well right now, so it seems like the game shouldn't be difficult for Real. But if you recall the recent game in the Super Cup, then the match ended in a draw in regular time, and only in the penalty Real manage to beat Valencia. I think Real Madrid should win today, Barcelona should not be allowed to increase their advantage if they expect to compete for the title.

Valencia is really going through a lot of problems this season. The club have not been the same since the departure of coach Unai Emery. The management just sacked Gennaro Gattuso for a very poor performance this season. The club ended last season in ninth position and the management was expecting a better performance this season. But this expectation seems impossible because they are currently in 14th position, just winning five matches after playing eighteen games. I think Valencia might not find this match easy against Real Madrid. But it is possible that coach Voro Gonzalez might want to prove a point with this game. Real Madrid attack have not been at it best and it has been having some defensive blunders recently. But I wish Valencia would win the match just to give its fans a game to celebrate.
