Villarreal – Real Madrid : Preview & Prediction
Before their round of 16 against Paris Saint-Germain, Madrid have an important meeting in the league with a trip to sixth in the league, Villarreal. Real Madrid will play without their best player, Karim Benzema, still injured in the thigh and also uncertain for the Champions League match. Carlo Ancelotti’s group have a six-point lead over second-placed Sevilla and could provisionally have nine if successful. Despite their defeat in the quarter-finals of the Copa Del Rey, the Merengues still have six victories in the last seven TCC meetings, including three on the road. Undefeated for nine confrontations against his opponent, Eden Hazard’s teammates should logically leave with a positive result from the Ceramica.
After a very difficult start to the season, Unai Emery’s players have raised their heads since December and remain on five wins in the last seven league games. Villarreal have just won their last two games, all while scoring five goals (3-0 against Mallorca and 2-0 at Bétis) for two clean sheets, which will put Moreno and his teammates in confidence before the reception of the leader of the League. Carried by his top scorer mentioned above, the yellow submarine has the ability to bring down Real Madrid but will have to play a very big match for that.
Villarreal are unbeaten in their last five home games (four wins and one draw).
Villarreal have not won since 2018 against their evening opponent.
Villarreal and Real Madrid drew 0-0 in the first leg.
