Prediction: 1-1
Real Madrid
All eyes will be on Estadio de la Ceramica when Villarreal and Real Madrid lock horns in the La Liga round 28. The Yellow Submarine aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Deportivo Alaves, but they will have a mountain to climb against the title hopefuls. Fit-again defender Alfonso Pedraza is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while both Gerard Moreno and Ilias Akhomach continue to miss out with injuries.
Los Blancos, on the other hand, recorded a hard-fought 2-1 win over their local rivals Rayo Vallecano. As Carlo Ancelotti’s men head into Saturday’s derby following the Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid, we are tempted to place our bets on draw. The likes of Dani Ceballos, Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao, and Jesus Vallejo are out of contention with injuries for the capital club. As always, Kylian Mbappe will continue leading the line for the Spanish giants.
Highlighted Player (Luka Modric):
Luka Modric is regarded as one of the best central midfielders in world football. The Croatian ace is a product of Dinamo Zagreb’s youth school and it has to be noted that he played 94 league games for the Modri between 2003 and 2008. In 2008 he signed a six-year deal with Tottenham Hotspur for a fee of £16.5 million.
Luka made his Tottenham debut on 16 August, 2008 in a 2-1 loss to Middlesbrough at Riverside Stadium. The Croatian star scored only 13 goals in 127 league appearances for the Spurs, but he is well known for his brilliant passing. In 2012 he signed for Real Madrid for a fee of £30 million and he made his debut against Barcelona in the 2012 Spanish Super Cup, return leg.
Modric quickly established himself as a first-team regular and, no doubt, he helped the capital club win two Champions League trophies (2013/2014, 2015/2016). You should bear in mind that he was named Croatian Footballer of the Year in 2007, 2008, 2011 and 2014.
