Villarreal CF vs Real Madrid CF Prediction 7 January 2023

The semi-finalists of the previous Champions League, Villarreal and Real Madrid will play each other in the sixteenth round of La Liga.

Seventh place, 24 points and goals 17-11 are quite modest figures for Villarreal, which has not yet lost the chance to finish in the top 4. It should be noted that in the previous five meetings, the Yellow Submarine prevailed against Almeria (2-1), Espanyol (1-0) and Valencia (2-1), and also lost 0-1 to Athletics and 0-2 to Mallorca.

At the same time, Real Madrid, with varying success, came out against Sevilla (3-1), Girona (1-1), Rayo Vallecano (2-3), Cadiz (2-1) and Valladolid (2-0) - as we see, the end of 2022 was not the best for him. So far, Los Blancos are second in the national league with 38 points on a 35-14 goal record.

Villarreal knows how to make life difficult for the giants of Spanish football, both at home and away. Since the Yellow Submarine is very good at defensive actions, we do not expect scoring extravaganza from this confrontation.
