Real Madrid and Villarreal will meet again in the La Liga Week 17 at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, Madrid Sunday, December 17, 2023. Live streaming information, how to watch, match previews and lineup predictions can be found in this article.
Real Madrid, even though many of its core players are injured, remains well motivated as a giant of Spanish football. They have only lost once to date, namely against Atletico Madrid in La Liga at the end of September. Apart from that, they have managed to qualify for the Champions League elimination round as top of group C.
Their performance in the Champions League has been impressive, with a win over Union Berlin in Germany recently. This victory meant they finished the Champions League group stage this season with a perfect winning record. This means that Carlo Ancelotti managed to set the strategy so that Jude Bellingham et al got the full 18 points.
However, in La Liga, they are currently in second place in the standings, two points behind first-placed Girona. Despite this, they have shown solid defence, conceding just 10 goals so far.
On the other hand, Villarreal has shown that they can be a threat to Real Madrid. They have won twice in their last meetings with Real Madrid in La Liga. However, they recently lost 0-3 to Real Sociedad in their last match in La Liga, and are currently in 13th position in the standings.
However, Villarreal has qualified for the last 16 of the Europa League, and is at the top of group F with 13 points. They only lost once, and drew 1, of the 6 UEL group stage matches. These results show that the owner of the 14th ranking in the La Liga table has the potential to compete at the highest level.
