How are Villarreal coming into this match?
On the other hand, Villarreal, a team managed by Marcelino García, is playing two tournaments this season: the Spanish league and the Europa League. In the latter, the Spanish club has had a great soccer performance since it was leader of its sector with good numbers (4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss) and managed to qualify to the next round of the European tournament. However, it is not the same case in the local league since, they have not been able to be protagonists in the Spanish league for a long time already and in this semester, they have stagnated in the lower part of the table. In their most recent match, the Yellow Submarine achieved a victory after beating Rennes by a score of 2-3 in Europa League- In the last LaLiga match, Villarreal suffered a painful defeat at home against Real Sociedad by a score of 0-3. Currently, Marcelino García s pupils are in the 14th position with 16 points, registering 4 wins, 4 draws and 8 defeats.

How are Real Madrid coming into this match?
The Merengue club, managed by the Italian Carlo Ancelotti, has had a positive balance in this first half of the season since in the Champions League, it did qualify to the round of 16 of the competition with a perfect pace of 6 wins in 6 games played, that said, Real Madrid qualified as first in the group. However, in LaLiga, the white team has not had a bad performance, but Girona has been better in this competition and is currently leading the Spanish league. Real Madrid needs a win to keep up with Girona, who are only two points behind Madrid. In their most recent match, Madrid achieved a last-minute victory over Union Berlin in the Champions League; in the last LaLiga matchday, Ancelotti's men could not beat Real Betis and drew 1-1. They are currently in second place in LaLiga with 39 points, the result of 12 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat.
