Match Stats

Real Madrid, despite facing numerous injuries to key players in recent weeks, has maintained impressive form, with only one loss this season to Atletico Madrid in September. Carlo Ancelotti's team secured a spot in the Champions League knockout round as Group C winners, winning all six matches, including a 3-2 victory over Union Berlin. In their recent league encounter, Real Madrid drew 1-1 with Real Betis, placing them second in the table with 39 points, just two behind leaders Girona. With a record of 12 wins, three draws, and one loss in 16 league games, they boast the best defensive record, conceding only 10 goals, a remarkable feat considering the absence of key players like goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and center-back Eder Militao since August.

Villarreal comes into the match with confidence, having won their last two La Liga meetings with Real Madrid, including a 3-2 victory at Bernabeu last season. Despite their recent success against Los Blancos, Villarreal faced a setback with a 3-0 home loss to Real Sociedad in the league last weekend, contributing to their inconsistent campaign, placing them 13th in the table with 16 points from 16 matches. While Marcelino's side has progressed to the last-16 stage of the Europa League, winning Group F with 13 points, their domestic performance leaves them 18 points off fourth place and 13 points off the top six. To secure European football for the 2023-24 season, Villarreal may need to win the Europa League unless their league form significantly improves.
