A banana peel fixture awaits Real Madrid, who welcome Villarreal to the capital city in the 2024-25 La Liga campaign. This match between two of the current top-three teams in the table will be played at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium on Saturday and is likely to see goals from both teams.
After eight rounds, Madrid is 2nd in the standings with 18 points and three behind leaders Barcelona. Villarreal is right behind Madrid with 17 points and one ahead of Atletico Madrid. It was a disappointing couple of matches for Madrid, who drew 1-1 against Atletico last weekend in the league, followed by a 1-0 loss to Lille in the Champions League.
The draw against Atletico was definitely two points dropped, as they led until deep into stoppage time. This was their third draw of the season, but they remain one of the two teams yet to lose in this league campaign. Villarreal are the surprise package of the season, surging in the standings with five wins and two draws. Their lone defeat of the season came in a 5-1 thrashing at the hands of Barcelona.
Following that, they bounced back with consecutive wins over Espanyol and Las Palmas, giving them enough momentum for this trip. It is their away form that gives hopes of picking something from this fixture, as Villarreal have won three and drawn one of their four away league games in this campaign.

Our Real Madrid vs Villarreal Prediction
Villarreal have managed to hold their own against Real Madrid as of late, as their recent La Liga results indicate. They have won two and drawn three of their last six league matches against Madrid, losing just once. The hosts are also coming off a defeat in the Champions League against Lille, which makes them vulnerable. Can Villarreal take advantage? They can test the Madrid defence at least and find a goal here, which is why our prediction for Real Madrid vs Villarreal is for both teams to score goals.
