Valencia is set to face Real Madrid at Mestalla Stadium on Sunday, February 8, with kickoff scheduled for 9 p.m. CET, or 3 p.m. ET. The match will be crucial for both teams, as Valencia is just one point above the relegation zone after a disappointing defeat in the Copa del Rey against Athletic Club.
Real Madrid, meanwhile, aims to keep pressure on league leaders Barcelona. They secured a narrow victory over Rayo Vallecano last Sunday, but the win came at a cost, with midfielder Jude Bellingham suffering a hamstring injury that is expected to sideline him for about a month, and forward Vinicius Junior receiving a suspension due to accumulating yellow cards.
