Villarreal:
Villarreal are in 5th place in the LaLiga standings with 44 points, a place that would allow them to return to the Europa League after just one season. This season, Villarreal did not play in European cups because they only finished in 8th place at the end of the LaLiga season. In the previous round, Villarreal narrowly lost 1-0 away to Alaves. At home this season, Villarreal has played 12 matches in which they have recorded five wins, five draws and two defeats. Villarreal’s next match will be away to Getafe.
Real Madrid:
On the other hand, Real Madrid is in 2nd place in the standings with 57 points, the same as their first-place rival, FC Barcelona, a team that also has one less match played. Real Madrid comes after qualifying for the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League even though they lost the return match against Atletico Madrid 1-0, qualifying after the 11m kicks. In the championship, Real Madrid has not won on Villarreal’s field since 2017, but even so they remain the favorite to take all three points. Real Madrid’s next match will be at home against Leganes.
