Real Madrid welcome Villarreal at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid on Sunday, Oct 11 at 3:00 PM in a LaLiga fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.
Real Madrid come into this fixture in mixed form (1W 0D 0L). Villarreal travel in mixed form (0W 2D 0L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
History strongly favours Real Madrid here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against Villarreal, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Villarreal won 0–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.8 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Real Madrid a slight edge, but Villarreal are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
