Real Madrid vs Villarreal Prediction: 5/10/2024

Villarreal has been struggling significantly in their LaLiga away games, managing to scrape together only one point from a possible 18 and failing to score in five of those matches. In stark contrast, Real Madrid has been thriving at home, securing seven wins out of their last ten top-flight home games and gathering seven points from their last four matches, indicating a resurgence in form.

Real Madrid’s home games have consistently seen a high number of goals, with at least two goals scored in 17 of their last 20 matches at this level. Similarly, Villarreal’s recent away games have often exceeded 2.5 goals, with ten out of their last 12 matches meeting this mark.

Despite their storied history and high aspirations, Real Madrid has been experiencing defensive challenges, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last eight LaLiga matches and achieving only two in their last 20 league games. Villarreal, too, has had mixed defensive fortunes, having scored and conceded in six of their last eight top-flight matches.

 

Prediction

Real Madrid has shown dominant form at home, winning nine of their last 11 LaLiga home games, underscoring their status as formidable hosts. They are driven to continue this winning trend to bolster their title aspirations. Villarreal, on the other hand, is struggling to escape relegation, having lost nine of their last 13 matches. Given these dynamics, a high-scoring game is likely.

Prediction: Real Madrid 4 : 1 Villarreal
