Prediction for the match between Villarreal and Real Madrid, which will take place on January 19. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Just 12 days ago, Villarreal beat Real Madrid at home in La Liga, and here is another face-to-face meeting between these teams. Despite the result of the recent encounter, the bookmakers are again on the side of the Madrid side. It is worth paying attention that Villarreal hasn't lost once since the season's resumption: two wins in the Spanish Cup and two in the national championship, and a draw with Celta in the last round of La Liga. The statistics are excellent; the Yellows should not be underestimated, especially against the background of the recent victory over the Cream. It should be noted that Villarreal was eliminated in the Spanish Cup last season in the round of 16; in their history, the Yellows have never won the Cup of the country.

Unlike Villarreal, Real Madrid has won the Spanish Cup 19 times. And last season, they were eliminated from the second most important tournament of Spanish football at the quarterfinals stage by Atlético. At Ceramica, Madrid isn't in the best mood after losing the Spanish Super Cup final to Barcelona by a score of 1:3. Overall, Real Madrid hasn't won in regulation time in three consecutive matches. In addition to the defeats to Villarreal and Barcelona, they drew with Valencia, defeating the Levant in a penalty shootout. In all, Real Madrid conceded six goals in those matches, with "both teams to score - yes" in each of them.

Villarreal plays powerfully at their Ceramica, recalling that the upcoming match will be only the third, indeed a home match for the Yellow. Villarreal won both of their games, first against Valencia and then against Real Madrid, by the same score of 2:1. Real Madrid has maximum motivation for the upcoming meeting after a series of failures: the defeat to the Submariners in the championship and the loss to Barcelona in the Super Cup final. In other words, we can't say anything about the high motivation of the reigning champion and the desire to take revenge on the Yellows. So, the upcoming game will be productive, and we have no doubts about exchanging goals. As for the outcome, in this pairing, despite the excellent recent statistics Villarreal, let's bet on the guests.
