Real Madrid form and stats
As mentioned below, Real Madrid are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 La Liga games. The team is doing great wherever they are playing as Real Madrid has won four games in a row. The Levante match was the last time out without a victory.
Madrid's previous game was a La Liga match also played at home, ending 6-1 versus Mallorca (placed 10th). The home side are looking to build on that result. As mentioned above, Real Madrid "killed" Mallorca in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. What a game it was for Marco Asensio when beating Mallorca, applying the finishing touch to three goals! The striker Karim Benzema edged out all others in that fixture and got a match rating of 10.0 out of 10. Benzema scored two goals, signed up for two assists and hit five key passes.
A strong away win before that one, visiting Valencia and winning 2-1.There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Madrid, as the Champions League home game vs Sheriff is only three days away.
Early season league goal statistics from Real Madrid's 2 home games: 11 goals, 3 conceded.
Villarreal form and stats
Villarreal are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the La Liga, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (0 wins, 3 draws and 0 losses). It's three draws from Villarreal's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.
Manu Trigueros, Arnaut Danjuma, Yéremi Pino and Alberto Moreno scored in Villarreal's previous match, the home game against Elche that ended 4-1. Attacker Yéremi Pino got a player rating of 8.05 in the game. "Man of the match" Pino scored one goal, served one assist, hit one key pass and had 20 successful passes (of 22 total).
Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Mallorca that ended 0-0.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Villarreal manager U. Emery Etxegoien as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Manchester United.
The attacking power of Villarreal when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Villarreal as they have only conceded 2 goals from these away games.
