Prediction: 2-1
Villarreal
After rolling over Real Valladolid 6-0, Real Madrid will look to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on Villarreal on Matchday 28. Los Blancos are eager to put some pressure on league leaders Barcelona, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. As always, a man to watch in the home team will be Karim Benzema, who scored a hat-trick at the weekend, whereas defender Nacho is back from suspension.
Towering centre-back Antonio Rudiger should recover in time to face Villarreal, with Luka Modric pushing for a start. Meanwhile, the Yellow Submarine will be without midfielder Nicolas Jackson, who misses out through suspension, while both Gerard Moreno and Francis Coquelin are sidelined with injuries. Since Villarreal looked sharp in front of goal in a 2-0 win over Real Socieadad, over 2.5 goals betting option should be considered.
