Villarreal, Recent FormVillarreal will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-1 home win against Valencia. They achieved 53% possession in that match and had 14 strikes at goal, with 8 hitting the target, up against Valencia's tally of 13 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 5 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 8 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. Having found the back of the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at The Estadio de la Cerámica, they are developing an impressive scoring record at home. Unable to deliver a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, it's fair to say they have their troubles at the back.
Winning 4 and being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 league games at The Estadio de la Cerámica, marks a good spell of home form for Arsenal.
When it comes to home matches at The Estadio de la Cerámica, Gerard Moreno will be feeling confident about finding the net again, with 5 league goals for Villarreal in their last 6 home games.
Real Madrid, Recent FormLast time out, Real Madrid went away feeling content after the match with a 2-0 away win against Burnley. In that game they had 61% possession and managed 19 attempts on goal, with 8 on target, compared to Real Valladolid who had 14 attempts and 4 on target.
Their boss Carlo Ancelotti has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 13 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 6 goals conceded across those matches. They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 15 games. Having shipped at least a single goal in 12 of their 15 league matches this season, they don't have an enviable defensive record this campaign.
They have had an excellent run of form away from home recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 games on the road. They will be very happy with their early away form this season, winning 7 of their 8 away league games.
On an individual basis, Karim Benzema is showing great form in front of goal having scored 6 goals in Real Madrid's last 6 league games
The last time these two sides met, it wasn't one to remember, finishing without a goal and both sides taking just a point for their efforts.
Villarreal have managed to keep a clean sheet against Los Blancos in each of their previous 2 meetings. Playing away from home, Real Madrid have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Villarreal.
Real Madrid have had a poor run of results when visiting Villarreal, drawing their last 5 and having not won any of their last 5 league encounters at The Estadio de la Cerámica.
Karim Benzema will be looking to get on the scoresheet for Real Madrid against Villarreal in this one, having netted 4 goals in the previous 5 encounters between the two.
There is only really one injury concern for the Villarreal manager Quique Setién ahead of this clash, with Giovani Lo Celso (Hamstring) missing out, which gives Setién a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
