More or less, Villarreal have been among the teams that constantly secured Europe. However, they failed to do so last season, and after an early exit from Copa del Rey, Villarreal focused on La Liga. Right now, the Yellow Submarine is in an excellent position as they hold fifth place with 44 points from 26 rounds. Right now, fourth-place and Champions League spots are three points away, and they have played one game less than 4th-placed Athletico Madrid. However, losing 1:0 in the last match against Alaves while having a player extra for more than half an hour is a massive setback.
Real Madrid are coming to this game after securing the Champions League Quarter-Finals after beating their city rival Atletico Madrid in a penalty shootout. However, it seems Los Blancos are not playing at an expected level, especially in La Liga. They dropped to 2nd place but are on a level with points with 1st placed Barcelona, although with a game played more. The bookies do not trust them too much as they offer odds between 2.75 and 3.0 to win the title. Still, they will have a pretty easy schedule in La Liga after the Villarreal game, which could help them regain the top spot.
Villarreal vs Real Madrid pick: Over 2.5 goals
Before losing against Alaves, Villarreal were really good, as they won four and drew two while scoring 14 goals - 2.3 per game. But even in that 1:0 loss against Alaves, where Villarreal failed to score, they were unlucky, considering they created 2.64 xG!
Real Madrid scored 57 goals in 27 La Liga games - 2.11 per game. But looking at their offensive talent, that is hardly a surprise, and scoring two or more goals against anyone is a real scenario. A good thing for this bet is the fact that they showed some defensive flaws, failing to keep a clean sheet in the last four games in all competitions.
We saw three or more goals in the last three h2h games at Estadio de la Ceramica, every time with both teams scoring. Considering the previous h2h games at Villarreal and all the above, we believe we will see three goals, very likely with both teams scoring.

Villarreal team news
After a 1:0 loss to Alaves, coach Marcelino spoke to the media. He said they weren't good enough and should better exploit the numerical advantage. "We missed a lot of chances and made a lot of individual attempts that weren't very productive. Alaves were more decisive in the penalty areas and won the match," the coach added.
Ilias Akhomach, Kiko Femenia, and Gerard Moreno, who missed the previous games with injuries, should remain sidelined.

Real Madrid team news
In the previous game against Atletico Madrid, Ferland Mendy suffered an injury and had to leave the field several minutes before the end of the match. For now, the French left full-back is listed as doubtful. Instead of him, we will see Fran Garcia on the left side.
Moreover, Daniel Carvajal, Dani Ceballos, Eder Militao, and Jesus Vallejo, who missed the previous games with injuries, should remain sidelined.
