Real Madrid vs. Villarreal Odds
Game Preview
Even if it weren’t for Barcelona’s epic start, Real’s performances would be rated as underachieving. Two losses in 7 rounds, the most recent to Atletico in the local derby, pushed Los Blancos all the way down to No.4 in the La Liga standings.
Their defense is problematic, allowing at least a goal in 7 of 8 games this year. The past 4 featured both teams netting and over 2.5 goals, and 7 of 8 ended with three or more goals.
Villarreal had a long drought starting the season with 6 straight matches without a triumph. However, the Yellow Submarine have pulled itself together recently, posting two wins with the same result, 3-1.
Overall, they are one of the most interesting teams to watch in La Liga. Their games are highly efficient, and 7 of their last 8 have ended with both teams scoring and over 3.5 goals.
Real Madrid vs. Villarreal Head to Head
Los Blancos won the last 4 meetings against Villarreal. In each one, we saw them score at least twice.
Real Madrid vs. Villarreal Predictions
Mourinho’s side plays much easier against teams that want to open and compete, rather than defend. Real plays at home, where it’s the favorite against pretty much any team in the world, so why wouldn’t that be true against Villarreal? The bottom line: the hosts win here.
