Real Madrid-Villarreal is a match from the 28th day of La Liga and is played on Saturday at 21:00: odds, predictions, TV and streaming.
The certainty that Real Madrid will not be crowned champions of Spain again this year came after Ancelotti’s side lost the Clasico in the league. Too many points behind Barcelona who now have their hands on La Liga.
But that doesn’t mean anything, especially for a team that has shown incredible character over the last week, going on to win at Camp Nou against Xavi’s men in the King’s Cup semi-final, overturning the defeat at the Bernabeu. The video of Ancelotti speaking after the match to his men, who cheered as the coach gave them a day off, has also gone viral. In short, everything beautiful. And so Real Madrid can also win against Villarreal dreaming of European qualification.
Right now the guests are sixth in the table and would also be in the Conference League. But the Champions League is four points away and the Europa League just one. Therefore, Villarreal can really hope to take something more important than the third European cup. But it knows very well that to do so, it must make as few mistakes as possible. The coup is not in the bag, however, despite a little turnover that Ancelotti might make in view of the Champions League quarter-finals scheduled for next week. Benzema could be given a rest after his hat-trick at Camp Nou. But despite that, the Madrid men have victory in the bag. Or almost.

The Prediction
Yes, it should turn out to be almost a match without history. Real Madrid are too strong, they live on the wings of enthusiasm, they have a coach who is one with his team, and so for Villarreal the Holy Saturday could be darker than expected. A match of at least one goal per team. And also from at least three goals overall, of course.
