Valencia's recent 0-0 draw with Sevilla marked their first La Liga stalemate since mid-December, maintaining their solid form with five wins and two losses in their previous seven league matches. With a game in hand on teams above them, European qualification remains a realistic goal for Valencia. However, off-field matters took center stage this week when the club refused permission for a documentary crew to film at the Mestalla, likely influenced by past incidents of racist abuse directed at Real Madrid's Vinícius Júnior during matches against Valencia.

In their previous encounters, Valencia managed a 1-0 victory over Real Madrid, overshadowed by incidents of racist abuse against Vinícius Júnior. Despite this victory, Valencia has struggled in recent head-to-head matchups, losing six out of the last seven encounters. However, Valencia's home form has been impressive, with an eight-game unbeaten streak in La Liga, including five wins and three draws, boosting hopes of upsetting the league leaders once again.

Real Madrid currently sits six points clear at the top of the table and is eager to continue their successful season. Their recent 5-1 victory over Valencia at the Bernabéu showcased their dominance. Additionally, the return of Antonio Rüdiger from injury adds strength to their defensive line, as evidenced by their recent 1-0 victory over Sevilla.

While Real Madrid has been formidable away from home, with their last league defeat on the road dating back to September, they have struggled to score goals, averaging just 1.4 goals per game in their last five away fixtures. This may prompt manager Carlo Ancelotti to utilize Jude Bellingham earlier in matches to bolster their attacking threat.

All eyes will be on Vinícius Júnior in this fixture, as he aims to make an impact after being sent off in the previous encounter at the Mestalla. Vinícius has been influential in recent head-to-head matchups, scoring five times between the 40th and 65th minutes across the last five meetings.

I expect the Brazilian to look for his redemption goal and prove himself on the pitch.

瓦伦西亚最近0-0战平塞维利亚，这是他们自去年12月中旬以来在西甲联赛中首次陷入僵局，他们在之前的7场联赛中保持了5胜2负的稳定状态。在比他们强的球队少赛一场的情况下，晋级欧洲赛场对瓦伦西亚来说仍然是一个现实的目标。然而，场外问题本周成为了焦点，俱乐部拒绝了一个纪录片摄制组在梅斯塔利亚球场拍摄的许可，这可能是受到过去在对阵瓦伦西亚的比赛中针对皇马Vinícius Júnior球迷的种族主义辱骂事件的影响。

在他们之前的交锋中，瓦伦西亚1-0战胜了皇家马德里，但却被Vinícius Júnior的种族主义辱骂事件蒙上了阴影。尽管取得了这场胜利，瓦伦西亚在最近的正面交锋中表现不佳，在过去的7次交锋中输掉了6次。然而，瓦伦西亚的主场状态令人印象深刻，他们在西甲联赛中保持了8场不败，其中包括5胜3平，这增加了他们再次击败联赛领头羊的希望。

皇马目前以6分的优势位居积分榜榜首，他们渴望延续这个成功的赛季。他们最近在伯纳姆乌以5比1战胜瓦伦西亚，展示了他们的统治力。此外，安东尼奥·雷迪格伤愈复出也增强了他们的后防线，最近1-0战胜塞维利亚就是明证。

尽管皇马在客场表现强大，上一次联赛客场失利要追溯到去年9月，但他们在进球方面表现不佳，在最近5场客场比赛中场均只有1.4个进球。这可能会促使主教练安切洛蒂在比赛的早些时候使用贝灵汉来增强他们的进攻威胁。

在这场比赛中，所有的目光都集中在Vinícius Júnior身上，因为他的目标是在上一场在梅斯塔利亚的比赛中被罚下后做出贡献。Vinícius在最近的正面交锋中很有影响力，在过去的五次交锋中，他在第40到65分钟之间进了五球。

我希望巴西人能找到他的救赎目标，并在球场上证明自己。
