Real Madrid have five fixtures in the month of November, which sees a two-week long international break come as well. Let’s see how the point may pan out!
Real Madrid head into November looking to pick up the highest possible number of points in La Liga Santander, beginning on Saturday afternoon, after a dismal run of form in October that saw them pick up zero points across three league games.
The outing against Real Valladolid will be Santiago Solari’s first match in charge in front of the Santiago Bernabeu. Let’s take a look at Real Madrid’s fixtures in La Liga for this month and analyse them with respect to how much points they can pick up.

Real Madrid’s first fixture in the month of November is against Real Valladolid. The Whites will have to deal with the absences of Mariano, Varane, Vallejo, Carvajal and Marcelo for this one, but should pick all three points up in this game. Real Valladolid currently sit sixth in La Liga, two points above the Whites but the Bernabeu test may not really go their way, especially after Real Madrid’s most lethal guns were rested in their Copa del Rey fixture. A 2-0 victory for the hosts and all three points should come their way.
Celta Vigo vs Real Madrid- 1 point
Celta Vigo is always a very resolute and notorious team, especially when they are playing in front of their own fans at the Balaidos. Real Madrid’s trips to Galicia have been memorable in recent years, but they did drop points there last season. Given the run of form they are in now, Santiago Solari’s men should pick only one point against Celta, though three will always be better. This one is likely to be Santiago Solari’s last outing as the Real Madrid interim boss.
Eibar vs Real Madrid- 3 points
Real Madrid has never come back from Eibar without a win in any of their last four visits. In spite of the Basque County stadiums not being kind to them so far this season, the Whites should comfortably pick up all three points against Jose Luis Mendilibar’s side.
Los Armeros have lost five matches this season and hence, the Real Madrid test should be a stern one for them. We could potentially see a new and permanent Real Madrid manager in the dugout for this match.
In addition to their three La Liga matches, Real Madrid will also contest the group phase of the UEFA Champions League. Having recorded two wins and a defeat in their opening three matches of the European competition, the Whites will be heading to Plzen and Rome in the upcoming weeks as well. Here’s a look at how those fixtures might pan out for them.
Viktoria Plzen vs Real Madrid- 3 points
Real Madrid’s first trip to the Czech Republic is likely to be one to remember. The Whites put aside Plzen in their matchday three fixture after goals from Karim Benzema and Marcelo. In this match as well, they should pick up a positive result and put another step in the knockout stages of the Champions League.
AS Roma vs Real Madrid- 0 points
Real Madrid will visit Rome to close out a month of November that will see them compete in the UEFA Champions League at the Stadio Olimpico. It is extremely probable of the Whites to lose this fixture keeping in mind Roma’s fantastic record at home. The last team to win at Roma’s home ground was Real Madrid, but the Romans have been stellar on their patch since that defeat back in February 2016. The likes of Barcelona and Liverpool have fallen prey to De Francesco’s men and Real Madrid might too.
Who do you think will be Real Madrid’s manager by the end of this month? Will they pick up all three points in their matches, especially on the harsh away days in Celta and Rome?
