🔊 Can the "Yellow Submarine" create problems for the reigning champion at "Ceramica"? One of the most intriguing matches of the 28th round of La Liga is the clash between Villarreal and Real Madrid. The upcoming encounter will be officiated by a team of referees led by Jesus Gil Manzano. According to the bookmakers, the odds are as follows: home win - 3, away victory - 2.13. Our editorial team conducted a statistical analysis and thoroughly studied current trends. The result of this work is presented in this prediction.
Head-to-Head
The head-to-head match of the teams in the first round was characterized by equal football, with the intrigue maintained until the final whistle. At that time, the "Merengues" were stronger at the "Santiago Bernabeu" (2:0). However, "Ceramica" is not a favored location for Real Madrid. Only once in the last 8 meetings at this venue have the "Galacticos" managed to secure 3 points.
Head-to-head statistics Villarreal - Real Madrid
Villarreal Team Overview
The last round was a failure for Marcelino's squad - a defeat by Alaves (0:1). Nevertheless, the "Yellow Submarine" retains the 5th position in the league standings. The gap from the top-4 is now 5 points. Villarreal's fantastic scoring ability this season cannot go unnoticed - 1.85 goals per match (3rd best in the league). High flank activity and remarkable efficiency in transitional phases contribute to constant pressure on the opponent's goal.
Let's highlight Ayoze Perez, who managed to score in 3 out of the last 5 matches. In total, the 31-year-old forward has scored 11 goals in the current La Liga campaign. Looking at the hosts' infirmary: Ilias Akhomach and Kiko Femenia. Gerard Moreno's participation remains in question as he continues to recover from a calf injury. What tactical changes Marcelino will resort to - we will find out soon.

Real Madrid Team Overview
This week, the "Los Blancos" organized a true celebration for themselves and their fans - advancing to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Moreover, they defeated a historic rival - Atletico Madrid. Interestingly, Carlo Ancelotti tried to mirror the strengths of the "Rojiblancos," thereby neutralizing the threat posed by their transitional phases. Largely due to this, the recent encounter did not turn out to be as spectacular as football fans had hoped to see.
In the national championship, things are also going quite well for the "Galacticos." At the moment, Real is trailing Barcelona by only 3 points in terms of lost points. Let's pay attention to the effective weapon of the "Los Blancos" this season - using Federico Valverde as a right-back. Thanks to his fantastic first pass, the Uruguayan often finds himself in the midfield line, creating a numerical advantage. His excellent field vision allows him to regularly pose threats from the flank in the final third of the pitch. In the capital club's infirmary are Dani Carvajal, Dani Ceballos, Eder Militao, and Jesus Vallejo.

⚽️ Goal Prediction
In 5 of the last 6 head-to-head matches, there were at least 3 goals scored. Both clubs are among the most productive teams in the league. While the "Yellow Submarine" averages 1.8 goals per game, the "Los Blancos" score around 2.1. Let's note another trend: Real Madrid has failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 4 matches. Considering these factors, we'll focus on the following event - both teams to score (yes).
🚩 Corner Prediction
The superiority of "Los Blancos" in corners during head-to-head encounters is evident: 6.2 versus 3.6. Throughout the current season, the capital club also shows a positive trend in this aspect of the game: 5.6 versus 4.2. The star-studded attacking trio of the "Galacticos" regularly creates problems for their opponents' defensive lines. Considering the defensive struggles of the "Yellow Submarine," the upcoming weekend will be no exception. We'll focus on the following event - Real Madrid will not lose in corner kicks.
Editor's Prediction
Neither Villarreal nor Madrid are lacking in attacking prowess. Based on this, it is quite logical to expect a "high-scoring" nature in their head-to-head encounter. Moreover, recent matches between the teams have been characterized by goals from both sides. The fatigue factor of the capital club's players should not be discounted either, as the "Galacticos" recently expended a lot of energy in the Champions League. A final score of 1:2 seems quite logical. Our main prediction is - both teams to score (yes).
