In that match, Real Madrid had 47 percent possession and 9 shots on goal, 7 of which were successful. Vinicius Junior (45′) and Karim Benzema (50′, 58′, and 80′) scored for Real Madrid. Five of Barcelona’s 11 attempts at goal were successful. The Real Madrid backline is functioning as planned, as shown by their most recent results.

Dani Parejo (77′) and Nicolas Jackson (81′) scored for Villarreal. Real Sociedad, on the other hand, had 16 shots on goal, but only three were successful.

Prediction :
Our prediction is that Real Madrid will probably win and keep a clean sheet when they play Villarreal, who might have trouble scoring. At the conclusion of this game, Real Madrid is our pick to win by a score of 2-0.
Head to Head :
When we look at their previous head-to-head matches going back to November 21, 2020, we see that Real Madrid has won two of them, Villarreal has won one, and there have been three games that have been tied.
During this time, the two teams scored 13 goals together, with 7 coming from Los Blancos and 6 from El Submarino Amarillo. That amounts to an average of 2.17 goals scored per game.
Team news :
At this crucial point in the season, Real Madrid’s team is in good shape. Their only first-team absentee is Ferland Mendy, who has a calf injury. However, since Los Blancos manager Ancelotti will be focused on Chelsea’s Champions League quarterfinal first leg next week, some adjustments are anticipated for this match.
Lucas Vazquez, Nacho, Antonio Rudiger, Aurelien Tchouameni, Dani Ceballos, and Marco Asensio might all start, and the Spanish champions might also start Benzema on the bench here. Jackson won’t be able to play for Villarreal this weekend because he got a red card in the game against Real Sociedad. Meanwhile, Etienne Capoue, Gerard Moreno, and Francis Coquelin are still hurt.
Before making a decision on whether or not to include Raul Albiol, his fitness will also need to be evaluated. Jose Luis Morales will start through the middle in place of Gerard Moreno, and head coach Setien is expected to pick a team that is similar to the one that played Real Sociedad when the whistle blew.
