Villarreal vs Real Madrid: Losing the advantage

The race for the top of the table between Barcelona and Real Madrid is taking place attractively when the number 1 position continuously changes. As you know, Real Madrid showed signs of distraction and they let their great rival Barca overtake it, taking the top spot before the tournament was suspended to make way for the 2022 World Cup finals.

Recently, coach Ancelotti's teachers and students had a 2-0 victory on Valladolid's field and they leveled the score gap with Barca, with 38 points after 15 matches but behind because of the goal difference. Continuing the excitement, Real Madrid aims to win all 3 points in the match in the round of 16 and continue to put pressure on Barca.

The desire is so, but most of the Spanish experts appreciate the possibility that Los Blancos will fail to find 3 points. Remember, this is a match they will have to be a guest on the field of stubborn opponent Villarreal.

In terms of performance, the team nicknamed the Golden Submarine is not inferior to the opponent when it won 7 and lost only 1 time in the last 9 matches. The point worth mentioning, Villarreal has just had 5 confrontations at home to draw Real Madrid and it is likely that the above scenario will be repeated in tonight's home match.

- Villarreal: Rulli, Aissa Mandi, Albiol, Torres, Pedraza, Parejo, Rodriguez, Capoue, Jackson, Arnaut Danjuma, Pino.

- Real Madrid: Lunin, Vazquez, Militao, Praise, Mendy, Kroos, Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavinga, Valverde, Benzema, Vinicius.
