Real Madrid vs Villarreal 08.04.2023

Real Madrid will turn their attention to the La Liga this Saturday when they host Villarreal at the Bernabeu. Having thumped Barce 4-0 in the Copa Del Rey Semi Final, Ancelotti’s men would hope to keep pressure on their rivals who have attained a 12-point lead at the La Liga summit. While the chances of reducing the 12 point deficit appear bleak, Real would not want to give up easily on the dream of a potential last-minute title push. To remain in possible contention, every game is crucial at this point.

For Villarreal, there is still a chance to push for a top-four finish having garnered 44 points on the log, 4 points behind fourth-placed Real Sociedad. As we get into the thick of the season, every game is important to ensure a Champions League berth for the Yellow Submarines.

Real Madrid head into this tie on high given how they have navigated their last two games in all competitions, scoring 6 against Valladolid and 4 against Barca respectively. Hence, we expect this run to continue here and we are backing them to score at least 3 goals in this match.
