This should be a tasty affair given both sides are in the top 6 of the league table.
Real Madrid has the form while Villarreal is unbeaten at home in their last 5 matches. It’s even-stevens here and we anticipate a top battle.
However, we see the visitors nicking this one due to their ability to resist and counter with quality players up top.
Players to watch out for: Capoue, Danjuma, Junior and Asensio.
