Villarreal vs Real Madrid Predictions


This fixture is usually entertaining, and another open contest with chances at both ends seems likely.

I expect at least three goals scored, while BTTS is also expected to land at the Estadio Ceramica.

  • Villarreal have seen BTTS & over 2.5 goals in 7 of their last 11 matches
  • Villarreal have seen BTTS & over 2.5 goals in 10 of their last 13 matches against Real Madrid
  • Real Madrid have seen BTTS in 7 of their last 8 away matches against Villarreal
  • Real Madrid have seen over 2.5 goals in 6 of their last 7 matches

Head to Head


Villarreal and Real Madrid have met on 20 previous occasions over the past decade. Los Merengues hold the winning advantage, claiming eight wins to Villarreal's four. 

Real eased to a 4-1 win when they last faced off at the Bernabeu earlier this season, while they edged to a 3-2 victory on their last visit to the Ceramica in 2023.

Villarreal Form


Villarreal maintained their strong finish to the season with an impressive 1-0 win at Girona on Monday. Bertrand Traoré's first goal since joining on loan from Aston Villa secured a fourth win in five matches for the Yellow Submarine. 

Marcelino's men have improved significantly since the turn of the year. Villarreal won nine and lost only two of their last 15 La Liga matches. In contrast, they had failed to win 13 of their 15 previous league fixtures. 

At the Ceramica, the Yellow Submarine are unbeaten in eight of their last nine, with victories picked up in four of their five most recent home fixtures. 

Villarreal Team News


Head coach Marcelino has a lengthy list of absentees to deal with this weekend. Raúl Albiol, Gerard Moreno, and Yeremy Pino are among seven players sidelined with injury issues. Suspended duo Kiko Femenía and Álex Baena also miss out. 

Real Madrid Form


An on-form Real Madrid maintained their superb end-of-season form with a comprehensive 5-0 win against Alaves on Tuesday. Vini Jnr was again among the goals as he took his La Liga tally for the season to 15 in a one-sided home victory. 

Long-since crowned La Liga kings, Los Merengues won nine successive La Liga matches since a 2-2 draw at Valencia in March. Carlo Ancelotti's side sit 14 points clear of Barcelona with a huge haul of 93 points amassed from 36 games played. 

Real Madrid Team News


Legendary boss Ancelotti has only a couple of players unavailable for selection this weekend. Injured pair Aurélien Tchouaméni and David Alaba are again likely to remain sidelined for the champions. 

Ancelotti is expected to shuffle his pack on Sunday, with Joselu, Antonio Rudiger and Dani Ceballos all pushing for a recall to the first XI. 

Verdict

In what is effectively a dead-rubber contest, I expect both teams to play with plenty of freedom on Sunday.

Over 2.5 goals is my preferred pick, while I also expect BTTS in a likely entertaining end-of-season contest at the Ceramica.
