The first loss of the season for Real Madrid is a fact. Somewhat surprisingly, it came with a 0:1 defeat to Lille as a guest in the Champions League. However, in the league, they have not lost for over a year. They perform much better at home in the new campaign. They have won all their home games so far, scoring at least two goals in each. Last season, Real Madrid defeated Villarreal 4:1 at home, but their last home loss in the championship was against this opponent with a score of 2:3 in April last year.
Villarreal has only one loss this season, but it was an unpleasant 1:5 defeat at home to Barcelona. Now they visit the other title contender and it is clear that they face another tough match. After the loss, they returned to winning ways and won their last two matches. The high-scoring matches of Villarreal continue. Both teams have scored in all eight matches of Villarreal this season, seven of which had over 2.5 goals. The last five matches between Real and Villarreal also had over 2.5 goals and goals scored by both teams.
Prediction: Real to win and both teams to score, over 2.5 goalsReal Madrid needs to get back to winning ways. They are still flawless at home, but Villarreal is a dangerous opponent. However, I believe that the guests will not avoid defeat here. We can see that the conditions for goals are also present, and I expect another high-scoring match between the two teams.
