On Saturday evening at the Santiago Bernabéu, Real Madrid will continue their league campaign as they look to bounce back from their city derby defeat against Villarreal. For José Mourinho’s side, the three points are particularly important, as Barcelona already lead La Liga by six points.
Real Madrid have collected 15 points from seven rounds, currently sitting in fourth place. Alongside five wins, they’ve suffered two defeats, most recently losing 2–1 away to Atlético Madrid. However, there are no major complaints about their attacking play: Madrid have scored 18 goals, with Kylian Mbappé contributing seven of them.
Villarreal have delivered a much more inconsistent performance so far. The Yellow Submarine have earned eight points from seven matches, sitting in ninth place with 13 goals scored and 12 conceded. Iñigo Pérez’s team most recently beat Levante 3–1, so they can arrive at the Bernabéu with confidence.

Injuries and Expected Absences
For Real Madrid, the condition of Mbappé, Federico Valverde, and Ibrahima Konaté has been the main concern. The French forward and Konaté have been dealing with knee problems, while Valverde suffered an ankle injury in the derby against Atlético.
According to the latest reports, all three players have a chance of featuring, although Valverde’s availability remains questionable. Rodrygo, however, will be out for an extended period due to a serious knee injury.

The Sports Mole statistical model gives a 64.9% chance of a home win, while estimating the probability of an over 2.5 goals result at 62.4%.
The numbers make Real Madrid clear favorites, but Villarreal’s attack shouldn’t be underestimated. The visitors have scored 13 goals in seven league matches, while the Madrid defense has conceded eight times.
Everything points toward goals, but unfortunately the bookmakers have priced these markets accordingly, so we can only try higher lines.
