Real Madrid will be aiming to make it successive wins in Spain's top flight when they continue their La Liga campaign against Valencia at Mestalla on Saturday night.
Los Blancos are currently top of the table, six points ahead of second-placed Girona, while Valencia occupy ninth position, six points behind sixth-placed Real Betis in the race for the European spots.
Valencia have not been in action since drawing 0-0 with Sevilla on February 17, as their clash with Granada, which was scheduled for last weekend, was postponed following a deadly fire in the city.
A three-day period of mourning was announced due to the tragedy which claimed the lives of several people, so Los Che will have had a two-week break by the time that they take to the field against Real Madrid.
Ruben Baraja's side have won 10, drawn six and lost nine of their 25 league matches this season to collect 36 points, which has left them ninth in the table, six points behind sixth-placed Real Betis.
Valencia finished 16th in Spain's top flight last season, which proved to be their worst final position since being relegated at the end of the 1985-86 campaign, but they are well on course to improve on that this term, and a late push for Europe cannot be ruled out.
