Share:The top two sides in La Liga go head to head when Real Madrid visit Valencia on Sunday evening. It will be interesting to see if Eden Hazard returns to the side in Valencia after being on the bench against Inter. Valencia have been the surprise package in the opening weeks of the campaign with the arrival of Pepe Bordalas as coach bringing about a change of attitude. Although Bordalas spent much of the summer clearly unhappy at the failure to bring in new faces, he has made Valencia more competitive than last season. Now Real Madrid will provide another stiff test for Bordalas' side in a game that will show just how far each of these two teams can expect to go this season.
