Los Blancos won last season\u2019s La Liga title to reach this stage, but they come into the match after a surprise league defeat to Villarreal. They are sitting in the bottom half of La Liga under coach Gennaro Gattuso and are looking to kick-start this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"arsenal-form\"><span class=\"green\">Real Madrid Form<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Carlo Ancelotti\u2019s side have been in quite a poor form of late. They went into the World Cup break on the back of a few iffy performances, losing 3-2 at RB Leipzig in the <a href=\"https:\/\/machibet777-affiliate.com\/soccer\/best-players-in-the-world-2022-11-01\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UEFA Champions League<\/a>, drawing 1-1 at home with Girona, and losing 3-2 at Rayo Vallecano all in their final six fixtures before the hiatus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since returning to action, they\u2019ve not been at their best. They won 2-0 at Real Valladolid but it was 0-0 until the 81<sup>st<\/sup>\u00a0minute before a penalty broke the deadlock. They then beat Segunda Division side Cacereno just 1-0 in the Copa del Rey with a strong XI. Over the weekend, they were beaten 2-1 at Villarreal in a game where they gave up 3.05 Expected Goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"arsenal-team-news\"><span class=\"green\">Real Madrid Team News<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni and defender David Alaba are both set to miss this match with injuries. Dani Carvajal is set to return so Antonio Rudiger will play centrally next to Eder Militao. Nacho could replace Ferland Mendy at left-back after an error by the latter against Valencia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fede Valverde or Eduardo Camavinga will replace Tchouameni in the engine room. Rodrygo will hope to start on the right if it is Valverde drops back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"arsenal-motivation\"><span class=\"green\">Real Madrid Motivation<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/machibet777-affiliate.com\/soccer\/epl\/real-madrid-players-at-their-peak-2022-08-24\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Madrid<\/a> have won this competition a dozen times and will take it very seriously. A victory here could set up a final against Barcelona on Sunday, which is a big motivation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coach Ancelotti could set his side up a bit more defensively in this one having promised a \u201csolid block\u201d after his side\u2019s defensive woes against Villarreal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-text-color has-background no-border-radius\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bet.machibet777-affiliate.com\/sports\/soccer\/spain-super-cup\/\" style=\"background-color:#f2a12a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bet Now: Super Cup<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"brentford-form\"><br><span class=\"green\">Valencia Form<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Valencia sits 11th\u00a0in La Liga with just 19 points from 16 matches. After a decent run of nine points from five matches (WDWDD), they lost 2-1 at home to Mallorca and 1-0 at home to Barcelona. They recovered to go into the World Cup interval in better shape by drawing 1-1 at Real Sociedad and beating Real Betis 3-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After resuming post-World Cup action, they lost 2-1 at Villarreal. A 3-0 away win at lower league La Nucia followed in the Copa del Rey. Over the weekend, they were beaten 1-0 at home by Cadiz, who languish in the relegation zone. Despite having 74% possession, Gattuso\u2019s side only produced 0.44 Expected Goals with just 0.14 xG from open play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"brentford-team-news\"><span class=\"green\">Valencia Team News<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gennaro Gattuso is without on-loan Barcelona midfielder Nico Gonzalez due to injury. Right winger Samu Castillejo was injured over the weekend and missed out after wrist surgery. Justin Kluivert could be his replacement down the right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Edinson Cavani will lead the line and Yunus Musah will provide energy in midfield. Gattuso may consider dropping Ilaix Moriba in midfield and starting an extra centre-back, according to reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-text-color has-background no-border-radius\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bet.machibet777-affiliate.com\/sports\/soccer\/spain-super-cup\/\" style=\"background-color:#f2a12a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bet Now: Super Cup<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"brentford-motivation\"><br><span class=\"green\">Valencia Motivation<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Valencia will be fully focused on pulling off an upset and reaching the Super Cup final over the weekend. They\u2019re expected to play very defensively and use the pace of their wingers on the counter attack. If losing in the second half, it may become about damage control to not damage their low confidence any further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"key-stats\"><span class=\"green\">Key Stats<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Real Madrid<\/strong> have won a record 12 Spanish Super Cups<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Real Madrid<\/strong> have won their last 3 matches against Valencia<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Madrid<\/strong> have lost 2 of their last 4 La Liga matches &amp; have conceded in 5 of their last 6<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Valencia<\/strong> have won just once in 8 La Liga matches (4 losses in 6)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Valencia<\/strong> have kept just 1 clean sheet in 10 matches in La Liga<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-text-color has-background no-border-radius\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bet.machibet777-affiliate.com\/sports\/soccer\/spain-super-cup\/\" style=\"background-color:#f2a12a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bet Now: Super Cup<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"verdict\"><br>Verdict<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Real Madrid are below their best and have a couple of key injuries to contend with.
