Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Sparkles will be flying when Real Madrid and Villarreal take on each other at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in an eagerly-awaited La Liga game. Los Blancos dropped two points in a 1-1 draw with Real Betis at the weekend, but they are surely capable of beating the Yellow Submarine in Madrid. Even though all Eder Militao, Aurelien Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavinga, Vinicius Junior, and Dani Carvajal are sidelined with injuries, home win should be considered.
Villarreal, on the other hand, have been showing signs of improvement ever since Marcelino took over the reins, but given their poor defensive display in a 3-0 loss to Real Sociedad, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. The likes of Santi Comesana, Alberto Moreno, Aissa Mandi, and Yeremi Pino miss out with injuries for the away team, while Denis Suarez is a major doubt.
