The Rampant Madridistas host Valencia tonight in a
fixture that is sure to guarantee plenty of goals,
and exciting footbaling moments.
Real Madrid are currently top
of the Spanish league standings with 78 point .leading Barcelona by 3
point and a game in hand. Valencia are third place with 48 points leading 4th
place Levante only on goal difference. Valencia Coach Unai
Emery has
praised his team ahead of the fixture and believes his team has the
quality to achieve a positive result. He mentioned in the
pre match press conference that keeping Rolando quiet throughout
the game will be the decisive factor.
"Cristiano has scored
35 goals this season and keeping a hold on him has to be one of our targets. We have
to be optimistic,"
Real Madrid has won 7 out
of 8 home games this season scoring 100 goals, averaging 3.3 goals per match.
they recently reached
the champions league semi finals ,they face German Power
house Bayern Munich on 17 April.Cristiano
Ronaldo has been influential for the Los blancos he became
the fastest player to reach 100 goals in the Spanish league
,he achieved this extraordinary feat in only 92 games. Ronaldo
will be looking to add to his goal tally as
he currently trailing the mercurial
Argentine Lionel Messi by 1 goal. Fellow blancos Karim
benzema and Gonzalo Higauin have also been on good goal scoring runs
with 17 and 20 goals respectively. Jose Mourinho will be
happy to see Pepe back in the staring line up after serving
a domestic ban of two games. Alvaro Arbeloa is likely to
replace fellow Spanish international Sergio Ramos as the Central Defender is
serving a suspension.
Valencia
duo Sergio Canales and Miguel have recovered from their knee and hamstring
injuries, respectively, and the latter has a chance of making the bench.

Final Verdict
With
real Madrid s great home record, and the Valencia's poor away form
this one is not very hard to call. The last time Valencia beat real Madrid was
back in march 2008, and that was with the like s of David villa
and David Silva in their ranks. Nothing is impossible when
it comes to football however, Valencia do have a bright young side, they may be
the underdogs but do posses the quality to upset teams of Madrid’s caliber. I’m
giving this one to real Madrid as I think this season they just have too much attacking
flair for any team to handle.
