Our prediction for this Primera Division match:

Villarreal

Villarreal

Real Madrid

Real Madrid

All eyes will be on Estadio de la Ceramica when Villarreal and Real Madrid go head to head in an eagerly-awaited La Liga game. The Yellow Submarine have been in a fine form of late and they must be high on confidence following a hard-fought 1-0 win over Girona. Both Alex Baena and Kiko Femenia are banned for the match, while all Gerard Moreno, Francis Coquelin, Juan Foyth, and Denis Suarez should miss out with injuries.

Los Blancos, on the other hand, clinched their 36th La Liga trophy in style, but they obviously want to put icing on the cake on a very successful season. Given Real Madrid’s attacking potential, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. You should know that over 2.5 goals have been netted in each of the previous four meetings between the two sides. Midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni remains on the sidelines with injury, while all Antonio Rudiger, Joselu, and Luka Modric are pushing for a start.

Prediction:
2-2

Highlighted Player (Luka Modric):

Luka Modric

Luka Modric is regarded as one of the best central midfielders in world football. The Croatian ace is a product of Dinamo Zagreb’s youth school and it has to be noted that he played 94 league games for the Modri between 2003 and 2008. In 2008 he signed a six-year deal with Tottenham Hotspur for a fee of £16.5 million.

Luka made his Tottenham debut on 16 August, 2008 in a 2-1 loss to Middlesbrough at Riverside Stadium. The Croatian star scored only 13 goals in 127 league appearances for the Spurs, but he is well known for his brilliant passing. In 2012 he signed for Real Madrid for a fee of £30 million and he made his debut against Barcelona in the 2012 Spanish Super Cup, return leg.

Modric quickly established himself as a first-team regular and, no doubt, he helped the capital club win two Champions League trophies (2013/2014, 2015/2016). You should bear in mind that he was named Croatian Footballer of the Year in 2007, 2008, 2011 and 2014.
