Villarreal Team News
After defeating Valencia and Espanyol in their previous two matches, one of the top clubs in the world is now coming to Villarreal as a visitor. They are only three points below fourth place, which is the spot that guarantees entry into the Champions League.
Quique Setien’s men easily defeated Cartagena by a score of 5:1 in the Spanish Cup, but they perform poorly in league games, scoring only 17 goals in 15 games. Alex Baena, a midfielder, leads the club in goals scored with just four.
Sadly, Coquelin and Lo Celso are still out with injuries, but the Spanish coach will have access to every other player.
Real Madrid Team News
The club led by Carlo Ancelotti is ranked second in the standings and they have won the same number of points as first-placed Barcelona. In the preliminary round of the championship, they had a record of 12 wins, 2 ties, and 1 loss.
Karim Benzema finally played for the Madrid team in the last match and he quickly returned with two scored goals to bring victory to his team against Valladolid.
Thibout Courtois in goal and Daniel Carvajal at right back could both miss the game due to injuries.
