Real Madrid hosts Villarreal at the Santiago Bernabéu in a La Liga clash between the leaders. The hosts have been in impeccable form in the league, winning six of their first seven matches and scoring 16 goals, but suffered a serious setback in the final round, losing 5-2 to Atlético Madrid in the derby.
Villarreal are in third place and have also been playing confidently, but they are inferior to the Madrid side. The Yellow Submarine have conceded in four of their last seven matches, and the upcoming game, following a tough European match against Juventus, could impact their fitness.
The hosts' superior squad, their impeccable home record, and the visitors' post-Champions League fatigue leave no doubt about the Madrid club's victory. Real Madrid should confidently win at home.
