Villarreal will entertain Real Madrid at the Estadio de la Cerámica in the round of 16 of Copa del Rey on Thursday. The hosts were eliminated from the round of 32 last season but managed to secure a place in the round of 16 after defeating Cartagena 5-1 earlier this month.
Real Madrid booked their place in the round of 16 thanks to a 1-0 away win over Cacereño, with Rodrygo scoring the only goal of the game. Real Madrid have struggled in the competition in recent years and have not qualified for the final since their triumph in the 2013-14 edition. Villarreal have never qualified for the final.
Villarreal played out a 1-1 draw against Celta Vigo on Saturday in La Liga while Madrid suffered a 3-1 defeat in the Supercopa de Espana final against Barcelona. Interestingly, Madrid’s last defeat in La Liga came in their away game against Villarreal earlier this month and they will be looking to avenge their loss.
The Yellow Submarine have suffered just one defeat at home in all competitions this term and will be looking to produce a solid display in this match. They defeated Madrid at Thursday’s venue about a fortnight ago and will be confident of repeating that feat.
Los Blancos have a decent away record this season and have found the back of the net in each of their away games. Villarreal have scored at least two goals in six of their last seven home games, thus we expect both teams to be on the scoresheet.
While the game is expected to be contested closely, considering Madrid’s dominance in the recent meetings between the two teams, we expect them to come out victorious.
Prediction: Villarreal 2-3 Real Madrid

Villarreal boss Setien is facing a quandary at right-back for Thursday’s game, as both Juan Foyth and Kiko Femenia – the latter of whom lasted just five minutes after replacing the Argentine – came off injured in the draw with Celta Vigo with shoulder and calf issues respectively.
However, Foyth has since returned to training alongside Gerard Moreno – who missed Monday’s session as a precaution – but Giovani Lo Celso, Alfonso Pedraza and Nicolas Jackson could all sit out again.
Arnaut Danjuma, who was an unused substitute at the weekend, recently travelled to England to hold transfer talks with unspecified clubs, and the Dutch winger is unlikely to be seen on the field on Thursday evening. Meanwhile, ex-Blancos man Raul Albiol is back from a ban and could start in the heart of the backline.
Juan Foyth went From ZERO to HERO in the Villarreal vs Real Madrid game.
