Real Madrid will get back to competitive action following the World Cup break against Real Valladolid in a La Liga encounter on Friday.
They had a brilliant start to their league campaign but a draw and a loss in their last three games saw them slip to the second spot, two points behind Barcelona. However, history is on their side as they are unbeaten in their last six away games against Valladolid in La Liga (W5 D1), winning the last three. Another win will take them back to the top of the table, albeit temporarily, as Barcelona play later on Saturday.
Valladolid, meanwhile, are currently 12th in the table with a record of five wins, two draws and seven defeats from 14 matches. They have been a difficult side to beat at home and have picked up 13 points from seven matches this season. Sergio Leon boasts of scoring two goals in four matches against Los Blancos and will hope to on the scoresheet again.
