Real Madrid and Villarreal are once again ready for battle. Real Madrid entered the 2024‑25 season chasing multiple trophies. In LaLiga they finished second and in cup competitions they were runners-up in the Copa del Rey and Supercopa de España but won the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Intercontinental Cup. By mid-December 2024, Real were third in LaLiga with 27 points and a +8 goal difference. Their season was characterized by big victories but also heavy defeats against Barcelona and Paris Saint‑Germain.
However, they have also suffered some other unexpected losses. The team that began the season on a high note is no longer looking as strong.
Villarreal, often punching above their weight, were fourth in the table after 15 rounds with 23 points and a +1 goal difference. Their domestic form relied on tight games and they kept pace with the league’s elite despite occasional draws. The standings show both teams in Champions‑League-qualifying positions, hinting at a closely fought match.

Our Real Madrid vs Villarreal Prediction
Madrid’s attack was spearheaded by new signing Kylian Mbappé, who scored 31 league goals and 44 across all competitions, making him the team’s top scorer. He is supported by young forwards Rodrygo and Vinícius Júnior, while veteran midfielder Luka Modrić continues to dictate play.
Defensively, center-back David Alaba and goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois provide stability despite occasional lapses. Villarreal’s offense centers on Ayoze Pérez, who scored 19 goals in 30 appearances. Winger Yéremy Pino added 11 goals, midfielder Dani Parejo eight and Álex Baena seven.
These contributions highlight a well-distributed attack. Villarreal’s ability to score from midfield and the wings helps them stay competitive against stronger teams. Real Madrid at the Bernabéu typically command possession and create chances through Mbappé’s pace and the creativity of Modrić and Jude Bellingham.
Villarreal will likely defend compactly and seek to exploit transitions through Pino and the finishing of Ayoze Pérez. Given Madrid’s superior attacking talent and home advantage, a narrow home win or high-scoring draw seems likely if Villarreal’s counter-attacks prove effective. Our prediction for Real Madrid vs. Villarreal: Over 3.5 goals.
