Betting on Villarreal CF
Villarreal kicked off their participation in the Copa del Rey with a 9-0 win over Santa Amalia, and then continued on their way with a more discreet 1-2 win over Guijuelo.
To reach this match against Real Madrid, they defeated Cartagena by a score of 5-1 in the round of 16. The team has a positive unbeaten streak of seven games, with six victories and one tie, and is going through a great time in all the competitions in which it’s playing.
Curiously, the draw came in their most recent La Liga match, a 1-1 draw against Celta de Vigo, which ended their winning streak.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Pepe Reina; Kiko Femenía, Aïssa Mandi, Jorge Cuenca, Johan Mojica; Francis Coquelin, Manuel Morlanes, Manu Trigueros; Samuel Chukwueze, Jorge Pascual, Alejandro Baena.
Betting on Real Madrid
Real Madrid has just suffered a major blow after losing the Spanish Super Cup final to Barcelona last weekend by a score of 1-3. In this match, which they’ll play on the road, Villarreal will have the opportunity to turn the page, but they will need to get the win. Otherwise, another setback could cause them more problems.
Additionally, it should be taken into account that they lost 2-1 to Villarreal in their most recent away contest. They advanced directly to the round of 16 and defeated Cacereño by a score of 0-1 at the beginning of 2023.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Andriy Lunin; Lucas Vázquez, Éder Militao, Nacho Fernández, Álvaro Odriozola; Dani Ceballos, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Eduardo Camavinga; Marco Asensio, Rodrygo Silva, Eden Hazard.
JefeBet Prediction
Real Madrid would often be considered the favorite to prevail in this match, but given their recent performance, fans have little faith in them. In addition to that, they have lost all six of their games against Villarreal on the road, with five of those games ending in draws.
Villarreal has won its last two home games, and that opens up the possibility of once again striking an authoritative blow against Los Blancos.
Prediction: Villarreal win by a score of 2-1.
