Predicted Result: Real Madrid 4 – 0 Valladolid

Match Preview: Very first home game means it will be the Santiago Bernabeu debut for their new signings. More than half a lac fans will welcome Eden Hazard, Luka Jovic and other new comers in their new home. Zidane should go with ultra attacking mode for this encounter. All their stars should be fit and ready early in the season and are expected to feature in this match. Hazard may get his first home goal for Real Madrid in this fixture. The Belgian will also be the key player for his side. You will have to wait to see, whom Zizou picks between Thibaut Courtois and Keylor Navas.

The visitors will play for a point for sure and might apply park the bus method. A point will certainly please them but even that it would be so much difficult to achieve in the Blancos’ fortress.

My prediction is an easy, dominating 4-0 victory for the hosts.
