Villarreal vs Real Madrid Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 15th March 2025

When Real Madrid come to Estadio de la Ceramica for the LaLiga match on Saturday, Villarreal will be hoping to use their home advantage to their advantage.

While Real Madrid are chasing the lead in the LaLiga after collecting 57 points in 27 rounds, Villarreal trail by 44 points after 26 rounds, leaving them as number 5 in the table.

Villarreal are looking for a payback after suffering a disappointing defeat in their latest encounter with Real Madrid but odds don't favour them to pull it off.

Villarreal show off very admirable numbers from their past ten matches, as they scored two goals on average per match. That makes a total of 20 goals, whilst they allowed nine goals against, for an average of 0.9 per outing. They pulled off two clean sheets.

Real Madrid scored 20 goals, conceded ten and held on for a clean sheet in two of their last ten matches.

The last time these two teams faced off against each other, Real Madrid came away as 2-0 winners. No doubt they are planning a similar outcome on Saturday.
