Villarreal vs Real Madrid: prediction for the La Liga fixture
On January 7, Villarreal will have a tough battle against Real Madrid in La Liga. Do hosts have a chance for positive result? The answer is in our prediction.
Command Analysis
Villarreal
SpainVillarreal put up a strong performance in the most recent match, marking a return to La Liga with a massive victory over local rivals, Valencia. «It was a special day for the club», - said Kike Setien, adding that a return to renewed Estadio de la Ceramica became a perfect gift for team's 100th anniversary.
Moreover, that success leaves the Yellow Submarine some hope for European places. Team lost only one of six home matches in the current La Liga season and hosts will try to avoid defeat in a game against the reigning champion, Real Madrid. Matches against Villarreal are always tough for the Blancos - team failed to find a victory since 2015, five latest head-to-head matches at Ceramica ended on level terms.
Coquelin and Lo Celso will miss the upcoming game.
Real Madrid
SpainMadrid team secured a 2:0 victory over Valladolid on their return to La Liga, but that win was overshadowed by racist insults towards Vinicius Jr. However, this incident is unlikely to discourage the champion. Luka Modric returned to fitness after the 2022 World Cup, plus Carlo Ancelotti has never lost to Villarreal.
This week, capital side secured a 1:0 victory over Cacereno and now the Whites will try to get a third consecutive clean sheet victory on the road. Madrid side has the best offensive record in the league.
Diaz, Courtois and Carvajal will miss the upcoming game.
