Predictions

The probability of Valencia CF winning against Real Madrid is very low. Valencia CF is in 16th place in the standings; if they lose a few more games, they might even get relegated. While Real Madrid is at the top, if Barcelona slows down, even a bit, Real Madrid will capture the #1 spot in the standings. With such prowess, they are more expected to win against Valencia CF.
