I can’t judge Real Madrid's last result against Lille to say they will not win this match against Villarreal, although I’m expecting Real Madrid to win this match, although it is in the top 3 of the table, and this will make it tough for Real Madrid again because Villarreal will also want to maintain their sport in the table; they will not want to go below 3rd in the standings.
It is a different competition, sometimes it has no impact. Even if Real Madrid failed to win in UCL, it doesn't automatically they will fail to win in domestic league as well. I'm very sure Real Madrid will play all out because they are playing at home against Villareal and 3 points is very crucial in this match. If Real Madrid failed to get 3 points in this match, they are getting far from the chance of winning La Liga. Sure, Villareal looks quite strong and they are trying to get 3 points for maintaining their position in UCL zone (top 4). However, I believe Real Madrid should be able to deal with Villareal with better quality players.
That is why I’m going to find the game challenging and tough for both sides anyway. Let's see how it will end up since both of them look good even though Real Madrid is the favourite in this match. That was what happened between them and Lille, and they end up losing to them. Let's see how this one goes tonight. I just hope the same thing should not happen; if not, I’m going to conclude that Real Madrid's performance is getting weak.
Indeed, this match will be tough, both teams are trying to get 3 points. But in theory Real Madrid ideally can win this match, it will be unacceptable if Real Madrid fails to win again in this match. So far Real Madrid looks quite dominating the match although Villareal has more chances in scoring goals. FYI, Real Madrid is leading with 1 goal now. Valverde opens the score, Modric is the man who delivers the assist. As a fan of Real Madrid, I'm quite confident with Real Madrid performance.
