Villarreal vs Real Madrid Prediction: Real Madrid gets another dry win

Prediction for the match between Villarreal and Real Madrid which will take place on January 7. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Villarreal has a six-match winning streak, which began on December 6 in a friendly against Galatasaray. In official tournaments, Villarreal beat Guijuelo and Cartagena in the Spanish Cup and Valencia in the Spanish championship. Before the start of the 16th round of La Liga, Villarreal is in seventh position in the standings with 24 points, one point less than Betis. Villarreal's home statistics are 10th in the division. Still, it is worth noting that the Submariners have played only six matches in the tournament, unlike most opponents who have played seven or eight games.

Real Madrid resumed the season with a victory over Valladolid in the Spanish championship and a win over Cacereno in the national cup. Before the start of the 16th round, Real Madrid is in second place in the 2022/23 La Liga standings, +12=2-1, 35:14 goal difference. The gap from Barcelona is equal to the goal difference. After Barça lost points in the match against Espanyol, there is no doubt that the team will do everything possible to continue the pressure on the Catalans. Real Madrid needs a victory over the opponent in the upcoming game. Real Madrid's away statistics are the best in the division, +7=0-1, 19:7 goal difference. This season, the only away defeat for Real Madrid in La Liga was against Rayo Vallecano.

It is probably challenging to call Villarreal a comfortable opponent for Real Madrid. However, in this pairing, we are on the side of the Madrid side; we believe that the capital team will do everything possible to return to the leading position in La Liga. The match against Valladolid in this respect is somewhat indicative since the Madrid side managed not only to win it but also not to concede a goal. We believe this trend will continue, and Real will achieve another dry victory in La Liga matches.
