Javier Aguirre’s men are in 19th place on the points table with two wins in 11 matches.
Los Ches will be at home for their upcoming outing. They must use it to their advantage.
Real Madrid are currently enjoying a phenomenal run of form. They made a stunning comeback against AEK Athens in their recent Champions League outing to secure a crucial win. Los Blancos secured three points in their last LaLiga fixture with an easy 3-0 win against Racing Santander.
