Real Madrid will be looking to bounce back from their derby day defeat to Atletico when they welcome Villarreal to the Santiago Bernabeu. Real have won five from seven in La Liga, but surprisingly were beaten away at Real Betis. With Barcelona in scintillating form, it's vital Los Blanco return to winning ways and quickly if they want to challenge for the title.
Villarreal have won two and drawn two of their seven league games so far. They're on a two match winning streak after beating Malaga away and Levante at home. Those victories ended a disastrous run of losing games but continuing their win streak away at Real Madrid is a tough ask for El Submarino Amarillo. Both sides have scored and conceded plenty in recent matches. An average of 3.5 goals has been scored in Real's last six games, with an average of 3.67 goals scored in Villarreal's last six outings. Neither side has kept a clean sheet in any of their last six.
Onto our prediction. We think this game will end in a Real win, but it won't be straightforward. We can see Villarreal taking advantage of Real's inability to keep clean sheets and score themselves.
