Villarreal vs Real Madrid Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Real Madrid to win
- Odds: +104 (Tonybet)
While Real Madrid’s 2-0 win against Levante didn’t impress, their 6-1 victory against Monaco displayed the team’s strength, mixing fluidity with individual quality. Considering Villarreal’s defensive record is far from impressive (no clean sheets in their last six games), this fixture comes at the wrong time.
Real Madrid need a victory to take advantage of Barcelona’s unexpected slip-up against Real Sociedad (1-2), which has pulled Los Blancos to within a single point of the league leaders.
It’s also a crucial encounter for Arbeloa, who needs to show that the Monaco game was not a one-off, as he’ll face Marcelino, one of the trickiest coaches in the league.
Villarreal vs Real Madrid Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Kylian Mbappé to score
- Odds: -129 (Tonybet)
Kylian Mbappé was already unstoppable under Xabi Alonso, and that level is expected to continue under Arbeloa. The coach prefers to give freedom to his most important players, therefore granting Mbappé more liberty.
Mbappé scored a brace against his former club earlier this week and has already registered 50 goals in La Liga. He’s the second-fastest player to do so this century, after his idol, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Villarreal vs Real Madrid Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Real Madrid to win + Kylian Mbappé to score + over 3.5 goals
- Odds: +333 (Tonybet)
Goals are expected at La Cerámica on Saturday. Fixtures between these two sides tend to be open and entertaining, highlighted by their memorable 4-4 draw back in 2024. Given that Villarreal will be without two starters due to suspensions, it’s likely that this game will become their seventh in a row without a clean sheet.
The bad news for Marcelino is the arrival of Mbappé, who has never been in better form. With Vinicius also impressing against Monaco, Villarreal can expect both players to show up with strong displays on Saturday.
