Villarreal vs Real Madrid Match Preview

Villareal and Real Madrid will play their second match in just 10 days, this time for the last 16 of Copa Del Rey.

Villareal is again the home team and in this match, they will have another advantage and that is that they are more rested than Real Madrid recently. Villareal changed their coach and now their coach is Setien who prefers a different style of football than Unai Emery who left for Aston Villa a few months ago. Villareal is now playing more attacking and that is what their fans want. They are in excellent form as they have only 1 loss and 1 draw in the last 11 matches in all competitions.

Real Madrid is not at their usual level lately. In the last three games, they won only against Valencia in penalties. They lost the Super Cup final to Barcelona and they looked really bad in that match. They will definitely want to play better in this match to qualify for the quarter-finals of Copa Del Rey.

Ten days ago Villareal won against Real Madrid and that was the third consecutive h2h game that Real Madrid failed to win over Villareal. I expect Real Madrid to bounce back in this match and play better. I believe they will not lose here in regular time I am pretty sure that they will field their best players to get out of this mini-crisis.
