Real Madrid vs Villarreal Prediction

Real Madrid Form

Real Madrid are looking to bounce back from a recent setback and get back to winning ways. In their last three matches, they first took out Rayo Vallecano by 4-1, before beating Elche by 2-3. The winning streak came to an end against Atletico Madrid, who ran out 2-1 winners. Real Madrid swept all opposition aside in the six most recent LaLiga matches at their home ground. They won all six, adding 18 points to their account, whilst scoring 20 and conceding five goals.

Real Madrid are among the title candidates in the LaLiga again this season, and first place is still within reach.

Villarreal Form

Villarreal look back on their last three matches with two victories to show for their efforts. Against Real Betis, they were left empty-handed in a 1-2 defeat, but they bounced back by beating Malaga in a 1-3 win. They followed that up with a 3-1 win against Levante in their most recent outing. Villarreal only have one paltry win to show from the last six away games in the LaLiga. In these six matches they drew three and lost two as well as being outscored by nine goals to eight.

Ambitions are high for Villarreal, and winning the title is still possible, but they need to raise their level to achieve the highest prize.

Anything but a home win would be a stunning result, and we back Real Madrid not to be stunned, just like we back numerous goals to be scored when they face Villarreal.
