Stadium: Santiago Bernabeu (Madrid)
Real Madrid have won enough. Villarreal are desperate for points and, to be honest, can’t afford a draw. There is a sense that big problems await the Madrid side.
Real Madrid
Real Madrid have now won 5 straight in all competitions and are comfortably in first place in La Liga. At the same time, we can remember how Courtois saved Madrid from defeat against Inter and how Real Madrid were minutes away from defeat in the game against Valencia. And I wouldn’t advise fans of the club to rejoice prematurely right now. One game can make all the difference, for example, the match against Villarreal. The Yellow Submarine cab beat them. And then what? Then the game in the middle of the week can seriously spoil the preparation for Sunday’s meeting with a strong Espanyol.
Villarreal
Villarreal are playing great. They need a bit of focus from the boys. To make you understand, before the last round, the team had a series of six draws in a row. The lads were foolishly conceding a win, somewhere they were chasing boring zeros. The point is that they failed to get 3 points for a very long time.
On the last matchday, Villarreal got a win by beating Elche. This is a crucial win, and now Villarreal urgently need to catch up, including through a match against Real Madrid.
Expert Betting Tips
Villarreal cannot afford to lose to Real Madrid right now. Real Madrid, on the other hand, can play to an extra draw. Honestly, the match is a draw, but I still suggest betting on the visitors. The bookmakers overestimate Ancelotti’s team. X2 for 2.42 would be the best. Good luck to everyone!
