Form and table position
Real Madrid have won three and lost two of their last five recent matches, the most recent defeat coming against Atlético. They sit fourth on fifteen points from seven played, three behind second-placed Atlético and six behind Barcelona at the top. A win would lift them to eighteen points from eight matches.
Villarreal have taken two wins from their last five, both in their most recent outings, following three consecutive defeats. They have eight points from seven matches, which would rise to eleven with victory at the Bernabéu. The market implies a home win at seventy-one per cent, a draw at sixteen per cent and a Villarreal win at thirteen per cent.
