OddsReal Madrid 4/11, Draw 17/4, Valencia 13/2

Real Madrid sit second in La Liga and eight points behind leaders Barcelona ahead of Thursday’s home clash with Valencia.

Carlo Ancelotti’s men have won just one of their last three league games and were held to a 0-0 draw at home to Real Sociedad on Sunday.

Valencia head to the Spanish capital without a win in their last four league games and you have to go back to 2008 for the last time they won at the Bernabeu.

The two teams met in the Spanish Super Cup three weeks ago, with Real winning on penalties after a 1-1 draw. The last league meeting at the Bernabeu came in January 2022 when the hosts won 4-1 and a repeat scoreline can be backed at 18/1.

The fourth and final Coppa Italia quarter-final takes place on Thursday evening, as Juventus play host to Lazio in Turin.

The home side have only won one of their last four competitive matches and slipped to a 0-2 home defeat to Monza in the league at the weekend.

Juventus will feel they are facing Lazio at a bad time, with the visitors up to third in Serie A and unbeaten in their last five games in all competitions.

The Rome giants last won the Coppa Italia in the 2018/19 season and are currently 9/1 to lift the trophy during this campaign.
