Real Madrid visits Mestalla to take on Valencia on Wednesday in La Liga. Here’s what to know.

When: Wednesday at 12:45 p.m. ET
Where: Estadio Mestalla, Valencia
TV: beIN Sports
Stream: beIN Sports Connect and Fubo TV

What’s at stake: Three La Liga points, with Real Madrid entering in first place with a one-point lead over Barcelona, with two less matches played. Valencia enters in 15th and aiming to increase its seven-point cushion above the relegation zone. 

Makeup game: A La Liga match on a Champions League matchday? Yes, that is correct. This match was scheduled for December but was postponed due to Real’s participation in the Club World Cup, which it won. 

Player to watch: Gareth Bale. The Welsh attacker just came back from a three-month layoff and scored in his first appearance last week at Espanyol. Can he do it again? You know, he has proven he can produce sweet goals at Mestalla. 

Odds:

Valencia 28/5 to win
Draw 4/1
Real Madrid 8/15 o win

Prediction: Real has been the best team in the league while Valencia has struggled with consistency. Los Blancos face a tough test but win. Real Madrid 3, Valencia 1.
