Real Madrid vs Villarreal Prediction & Betting Tips (5 October)

Villarreal have found life on their LaLiga travels extremely tough, with the Villarreal securing just some point from a possible 18, as well as failing to find the net on five occasions. Real Madrid, by way of contrast, have enjoyed seven wins in ten top-flight home games of late, and seven points from four matches overall hints at an upturn in form.

A minimum of two goals have been served up in 17 of the previous 20 Real Madrid home matches in this tier of the LaLiga, so achieving consistency on this particular front has not proven too challenging for Real Madrid. Not only that, but ten of the last 12 Villarreal away games in the LaLiga have also been of the over 2.5 goals variety.

For a club with such pedigree and ambition, Real Madrid possess a truly awful defensive record of late, failing to keep a clean sheet in eight consecutive LaLiga matches, as well as managing just two shutouts in 20 top-flight fixtures. As for Villarreal, they have both scored and conceded in six of their last eight games at this elite level.
