Where to watch Real Madrid vs. Valencia LaLiga match today on free streams, TV

Real Madrid’s pursuit of Barcelona at the summit of LaLiga resumes on Sunday when the Spanish giants travel to Manises for a 3 p.m. ET kick-off against struggling Valencia. ESPN2 and ESPN Deportes will carry the linear broadcast, while cord-cutters can choose from a cluster of streaming options that include free-trial windows.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side enters the weekend four points behind league-leading Barcelona, having amassed 17 wins, three draws and two defeats through 22 rounds. Madrid’s recent form shows four victories and three losses in their last seven competitive fixtures, with setbacks against Benfica in the Champions League, Albacete in the Copa del Rey and Barcelona in the Spanish Supercopa final.

Valencia, hovering one place above the relegation zone at 17th, carries a 5-8-9 record and has lost its last two matches by identical 2-1 scorelines to Real Betis in league play and Athletic Club in the cup. Those defeats halted a brief upturn that saw Los Che win three consecutive January fixtures.

Oddsmakers list Madrid as a -180 road favorite, reflecting both the visitors’ superior standing and Valencia’s battle to avoid the drop.
