Will the Blancos continue their high-flying run?

Real Madrid have taken 16 out of a possible 18 points from their first six league games and currently lead the La Liga table. The Merengues are the absolute goal factory of the highest Spanish division and have already scored 21 goals Now, however, Villarreal CF, the second-best defensive team, will be playing at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu.

The yellow submarine has also not lost any of the five games played so far, but has only won one game in four draws. In the run-up to the match between Real Madrid and Villarreal, the odds are clearly in favour of the visitors from the east coast of Spain.

Adding to that is the recent record. The Blancos have not lost any of their last seven league games against the Yellow Submarine (three wins, four draws). However, it is striking that in all of these seven games, both teams always scored. Accordingly, a lot of value is to be seen in the betting on Real Madrid against Villarreal that goals will once again be scored on both sides

Spain Real Madrid – Statistics & current form

With 34 national championships, Real Madrid is not only the most successful team in Spain. With 13 overall victories in the Champions League and the European Cup of Nations, as well as a total of 26 club titles in UEFA and FIFA competitions, no other team in the world can boast anywhere near as many successes as the Blancos.

Accordingly, it is difficult to reconcile the club’s self-image with the fact that not a single title was won in 2020/21. In La Liga, they were two points behind city rivals Atlético in the end.

Little activity in the transfer market

Despite this, the Galactics only experienced a small upheaval in the summer. With Carlo Ancelotti, a former coach returned to the bench, while with Sergio Ramos, among others, a club icon left the club. Raphael Varane and Martin Ödegaard were also sold.

On the plus side was David Alaba, whom the Merengues were able to bring to the Spanish capital on a free transfer. It is therefore all the more remarkable how confidently Real are playing at the top again straight away.

The undisputed goal factory in La Liga

In league play, the white ballet picked up 16 of a possible 18 points, which currently puts them top of the table.

The royals also impressed in the Champions League on the first matchday with a 1-0 win at Inter Milan. Accordingly, the Ancelotti eleven will go into the next home match as clear favourites.

At the moment, the attack around Karim Benzema, who has already scored eight goals and set up seven others, is particularly impressive. The Merengues have scored a staggering 21 goals in the league so far, which is the best in the league, ten goals behind the second-placed team.

Predicted line-up of Real Madrid:
Courtois – Gutiérrez – Alaba – Militao – Fernández – Valverde – Camavinga – Asensio – Júnior – Rodrygo – Benzema

Spain Villarreal – Statistics & current form

Villarreal CF experienced their sporting peak so far in the club’s 98-year history in the 2020/21 season. The Yellow Submarine (Spanish: “El Submarino Amarillo”) secured the UEFA Europa League on penalties against Manchester United.

In fact, it was the first ever major title for the club from Spain’s east coast, which had never been champions or won the Copa del Rey before. Seventh in the final La Liga table, Emery’s side qualified for the Champions League

Soon winless in six competitive games

The new season, however, has seen the Yellow Submarine struggle with a number of problems. Not only did the East Spaniards fail to beat Chelsea on penalties in their first competitive match of the season in the UEFA Super Cup, they also drew all of their subsequent five competitive matches

It was not until Wednesday evening that the knot was broken in La Liga, when Elche CF were defeated 4:1 at home. It was Unai Emery’s side’s first win since winning the Europa League final.

Did the knot finally break in the win over Elche?

The men from the Spanish east coast climbed to seventh place in the table with their first three points in their fifth league match. So, if they win their remaining game against last-place Deportivo Alavés, they would be back on track pretty quickly.

Nevertheless, Real Madrid’s betting on an away win at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu against Villarreal is not under the best of stars. Only once have the Yellow Submarine, who are currently on a seven-match winless streak against the Blancos, recorded an away win at the Spanish record holders…

Predicted Villarreal line-up:
Asenjo – Pedraza – Torres – Mandi – Gaspar – Trigueros – Capoue – Parejo – Danjuma – Pino – Alcácer

Real Madrid – Villarreal Direct Comparison / H2H Record

Head to head: 26 – 14 – 4

The two teams have faced each other a total of 44 times, and with only four defeats, the balance is clearly in favour of the Madrilenians, who have not lost to Villarreal in seven encounters. However, the Blancos have conceded at least one goal in each of their last ten encounters.

Spain Real Madrid – Villarreal Spain Tip

When it comes to Real Madrid vs Villarreal, the prediction has to take into account that both teams are still unbeaten so far this season. Admittedly, the Blancos bring plenty of attacking punch as league leaders with 21 goals from six games. The Yellow Submarine, on the other hand, have a first-class defence.

Nevertheless, the in-form Benzema in particular and his sidekicks should find a goal sooner or later, although we also trust the visitors to score at the Santiago Bernabéu Accordingly, we find the greatest value in betting on goals on both sides
