On Sunday evening, Villarreal and Real Madrid clash at the Estadio de la Ceramica in what promises to be a fascinating gameweek 37 clash in La Liga.
The Yellow Submarine will be looking to sink the new championsMarcelino’s team is currently in eighth place in the table, three points outside the European spots in La Liga. However, the two teams directly above them, Real Betis and Real Sociedad, both have games in hand.
After a challenging start to their Liga campaign, Villarreal has shown a remarkable turnaround in recent weeks. The home team has recorded wins in four of their last five games in the Spanish top flight, including a 1-0 win at Getafe in their previous outing.
Villarreal has recently been tough to beat at the Ceramica, losing just one of their last nine home games in the Spanish top-flight.
The Yellow Submarine’s recent home games have not failed to deliver when it has come to goals, as four of their last five home matches have produced over 2.5 goals.
Real Madrid are finishing the campaign in fine formLos Blancos recorded a ninth consecutive victory in La Liga when they recorded a 5-0 home win over Alaves last time out. The game saw Carlo Ancelotti’s team keep a fourth straight clean sheet.
At the other end of the pitch, the men from Madrid have also scored at least two goals in eight of their last ten outings in La Liga.
The visitors are a force to be reckoned with, remaining unbeaten in their last 14 away games in the Spanish top flight. Their solid defensive recent record on their travels, including three straight clean sheets, has played a key role in their strong away results.
What am I backing?I can see this being a highly entertaining and high-scoring encounter. With that in mind, the bet I am backing is over 2.5 goals scored.
