Villarreal - Real Madrid betting tips and odds

Beating Real Madrid will not be easy, but we believe Villarreal are more than capable of doing so. The matchup is somewhat balanced, after all, so all three possible outcomes are still on the table.

With 2.15 odds for an away win, Real Madrid have a rather clear path to victory. Still, there’s plenty of room for an upset in a match like this, so other options are still worth considering.

The hosts are coming on the back of a close matchup with Valencia, which they ended up winning 2:1. Pre-match predictions were fairly optimistic about their chances of taking the 3 points, but the deciding goal didn’t come until the second half.

Real Madrid supporters were treated with a big-margin victory away from home in the last round (0:2). Their team was a huge favourite to beat Real Valladolid at 1.50. Still, they were held level for the first 45 minutes only to emerge victorious thanks to a glorious display in the second half (0:2).

The visitors are on a bit of a purple patch when it comes to scoring, with 5 goals scored in total in their latest 3 La Liga matches. If the trend continues, we’re bound to see a pretty exciting game here.

The Yellow Submarine have recorded mixed results so far, and bookmakers are skeptical about their odds of earning 1 point and moving up to UEFA qualification spots. They’ll have plenty of chances to try, of course, but so will the teams placed lower.

As one of the best-placed teams in the La Liga, Real are looking at possibly challenging the title. They have more than enough time to earn the 0 points they need. That said, this match will not be an easy one – most bookies see the two sides as equally matched, pricing an away win at 2.15.

As far as the head-to-head stats are concerned, the most recent record we have is of a draw game in the previous season. We’ll hopefully see a more satisfying outcome this time around, and the betting odds are pointing at Real Madrid as being more likely to get there.

Though some punters may prefer more exciting options, the Under 3.5 Goals market is a solid opportunity for this fixture. It offers a surprisingly solid balance between risk and betting value – though the returns on their own aren’t much to look at.
