Team News

Real Madrid
Villarreal
  • Real Madrid remain without as many as seven absentees heading into this one.
  • Of the players ruled out through injury, only summer signing Arda Guler looks set to return before the New Year.
  • Villarreal will head to the Santiago Bernabeu with up to four players missing through injury.

Prediction

  • Real Madrid were held to a draw at Real Betis last weekend, and have since fallen to second in La Liga, two points behind league leaders Girona.
  • Los Blancos have won all but one of their home matches in all competitions this season, with Rayo Vallecano the only side to leave the Bernabeu with a point so far.
  • Villarreal were comprehensively beaten at home to Real Sociedad last time out in the league and will head into this one in 13th place.
  • The visitors have won just twice on the road this season, and were beaten 3-1 on their last trip to the Spanish capital, against Atleti, just over a month ago.
  • Back the hosts to secure a comfortable victory here.
