Real Madrid vs Villarreal live stream: How to watch La Liga online
Real Madrid will be hoping to go top of La Liga’s top four when they host Villarreal on Sunday at 8pm (UK time).
Real Madrid vs Villarreal odds
Real Madrid are favourites to win La Liga this season, but they are playing a chasing game right now. Los Blancos go into this game second in La Liga, two points behind early shock leaders Girona. But, once again, Real Madrid have the benefit of playing first this weekend and can put pressure on their unlikely title rivals. Real Madrid have been great this season, with 12 wins from their opening 16 games, only dropping points in three draws and one defeat — to Atletico Madrid. One of those draws did come last weekend, however, as Real Madrid were held by Real Betis which saw them drop off top spot.
Villarreal, meanwhile, may need to come to terms with the fact that they could be more likely to battle relegation than challenge for Europe. As we edge closer to the halfway point of the season, Villarreal are just six points clear of the relegation zone with eight defeats for the season. That’s exactly half of their league games lost, with only Granada and Almeria — the bottom two — losing more so far. Two of Villarreal’s four league wins have come in their last six games but they are joined by three defeats, including a 3-0 loss to Real Sociedad at the weekend.
