I know this game is still over a day away, but it's probably going to be Real Madrid's biggest test of the season so far.
Raul will not be playing due to an abdominal injury suffered last week against Malaga, so Javier Portillo gets the start alongside Ronaldo. Also, Ivan Helguera's knee is acting up again and he won't be playing either. Raul Bravo will take his spot in the line-up.
Valencia will have their skipper Ayala in for this game after he agreed to a new four year contract extension earlier this week.
Considering the game is at the Mestalla and Real has had difficulties there before, along with the fact that Canizares will be in goal and Ayala is back...
...I'm going to predict a 2-1 win for Valencia over Madrid.
