Real Madrid vs Villarreal Match Preview
Splendid Real Madrid will host struggling Villarreal on La Liga’s ninth Matchday. Kick-off time for this fixture is at 8:00pm GMT and 4:00pm EST.

Cristiano Ronaldo often has a good game against Villarreal.
Villarreal are yet to clinch a single victory away from El Madrigal in La Liga this season. Their first of 4 away games thus far proved to be disastrous as they lost 5-0 to defending champions Barcelona. They then suffered a shocking 1-0 defeat to new boys Granada before earning their first away point in a 1-1 draw against Athletic Bilbao.
In mid-October, Villarreal managed nothing more than a goalless draw against Getafe. After receiving a big slap in the face by surprise package Levante last weekend, the Yellow Submarines seriously need to turn the tables around or else sink deeper in their troubles.
But the Santiago Bernabeu is definitely not the best venue for visitors to make things happen. In addition, the current form of Real Madrid comes as a big obstacle to Villarreal’s hopes of getting a positive result on Wednesday night.
Los Blancos have scored 18 goals in their last 4 matches in the Spanish Primera Division. They've also conceded only thrice during the past 450 minutes. Getafe, Rayo Vallecano and Real Betis have all gone under the power of Real Madrid at the Bernabeu this season. Villarreal could be the Spanish giants' next victims.
The Yellow Submarines will enter the match with a terrible 1-7 away record in terms of goals scored and goals conceded. Real Madrid’s attacking line, composed of the influential Cristiano Ronaldo, Gonzalo Higuain and Angel di Maria is expected to rub salt on Villarreal’s wounds at the delight of the Santiago Bernabeu’s home supporters.
