Real Madrid, Recent FormIn their last match Real Madrid enforced their superiority over Real Valladolid with a 6-0 home win. In that game they had 60% possession and managed 29 attempts on goal, with 17 on target, compared to Real Valladolid who had 12 attempts and 2 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 13 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 4 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. It's been rare for their fans not to have had something to shout about this season, with their team scoring in 12 out of 13 home games.
Their strong run of form at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 17 games in a row.
Karim Benzema will be feeling confident about adding his name to the scoresheet once more at The Estadio Santiago Bernabéu, having notched up 6 goals for Real Madrid in their last 6 league matches at home.
Villarreal, Recent FormVillarreal will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-0 winners in their home fixture against Real Sociedad. They achieved 52% possession in that match and had 16 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Real Sociedad's tally of 16 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
Their boss Quique Setién has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 12 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 proving to be well organised on their travels, having kept 3 clean sheets in their last 6 games.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
José Luis Morales will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 5 goals in the last 6 league outings for Villarreal.
