The 2022-23 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Real Valladolid lock horns with Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid side in an important clash at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday.
Real Madrid vs Real Valladolid Preview
Real Valladolid are currently in 16th place in the La Liga standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The away side slumped to a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Athletic Bilbao last month and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have been fairly underwhelming this season. Los Blancos suffered a damaging 2-1 defeat against arch-rivals Barcelona in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.
