Preview

Real Madrid play Valencia in their first match of the league season on Saturday at 4 pm local time (10 am ET). All games from the new Liga F can be watched on DAZN. Throughout the campaign, some matches will be shown free on YouTube, while others will be on their paid subscription service. Make sure to check between the two on the day.

This weekend’s action will count as matchday 2, since the first round of fixtures was postponed due to a referee strike, which was resolved on Wednesday.

According to coach Alberto Toril, the players are raring to go.

Valencia barely escaped relegation in 2021/22 and posted the joint-worst offensive numbers in the league. Things are always trickier than they look on paper, but Madrid will be expecting to pick up all three points.
