Real Madrid have failed to win in their last two games in all competitions which is why it's understandable that some football fans are now doubting their strength to beat Villarreal tonight but let's also not forget that Kylian Mbappe didn't start in any of these past two games. The France international starts tonight and that I think is a huge advantage to Real Madrid so my prediction is a straight win for Carlo Ancelotti's men.

Madrid starting eleven has been released, Mbappe and Vinicius lead the front line using a 4-1-2-1-2 formation, perhaps this is an experimental formation that Ancelotti wants to try, especially to stabilize the attack line by focusing on Mbappe and Vini so that Bellingham will be a shadow striker in the middle because the midfielders are handled by Modric and Valverde. This rotation should be effective because it provides a fuller left and right side without having to compete with Mbappe and Vini.
