Zidane: I don't need a goalkeeper now, it can be discussed in June
It will be the 43rd time that Real Madrid have begun a new calendar year away from home when Zinedine Zidane and his side travel to Estadio Balaidos on Sunday, and their record in their previous trips is a serious concern. They have only nine victories along with 16 draws and 16 defeats, which means that Los Blancos have come away with three points on only 22% of the occasions, a lower rate than the likes of Racing Santander and Villarreal, and number 23 in the rankings for opening day form.
Strangely, Madrid's favourite place to visit at the turn of the year is the Camp Nou, where the side have played four times, only being beaten once and recording two draws and a singular defeat, anam have never struggled for goals on the occasionStrangely, Madrid's favourite place to visit at the turn of the year is the Camp Nou, where the side have played four times, only being beaten once and recording two draws and a singular defeat, anam have never struggled for goals on the occasion
Lack of goals
One of the key reasons behind such poor form in these fixtures is their struggles in front of goal, with only an average of 1.44 goals scored, compared to 1.71 goals concededCompletely the opposite is true when Madrid begin the year on home turf, with only one loss and four draws in 40 games Compared to the scarcity of away goals after new year celebrations, the average number of goals scored at the Estadio Santiago Bernab�u in these clashes is a much more impressive 3.09.
