Villarreal hosts Real Madrid in round 3 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, September 1st at Estadio de la Ceramica (Villareal)
Villarreal started the new draw rather controversially. In their first match with Granada (4-4), the players of Javier Calleja showed a real shootout, where everything that could fly into the net flew. In the next round, the Yellow Submarine was not lucky, even though Villarreal showed a quality game, especially in the first half. In the game with Levante, two penalties were awarded to the net of the Submariners. Thus, the team has deplorable results so far, but the game that the players are showing looks good. It is also worth noting that the club has strengthened quite well in the offseason, having acquired several high-quality performers. The main danger comes from the left flank, where Alberto Moreno has a good pass. It can be seen that the Yellow Submarine began to organize pressure more often when the ball is lost, trying to cover the opponent immediately. Villarreal has become more accurate in terms of tactics, using the 4-2-3-1 scheme, which allows it to play in the attack more, but as for positional defense, the club resorts to 4-4-2. In the upcoming round, the Submariners will give a serious rebuff to Real Madrid at home.

Real Madrid began with a confident victory over Celta. However, this victory was obtained rather due to the high level and individual skill of several players, rather than some tactical ideas and team set plays. Thus, the only drive was not enough for the players in the next match. The Whites possessed the ball most of the match with Valladolid but failed to turn this possession into a positive result. Even though the Royal club has a very dangerous and creative attack, Real it uses mostly ordinary high crosses in the opponent’s penalty area when attacking, trying to load it (not a very effective tactic). As for the center of the midfield, the Whites also have problems: midfielders do not move the ball across the field fast enough, playing too long often. The defense also does not inspire great confidence. Thibaut Courtois is far from his ideal shape. He began to make saves much less often. As a result, we have Real Madrid with a bunch of problems, which cannot show a high-quality game consistently.
In this round, the Whites are going to have a difficult visit to Villarreal, which worked well in the transfer market. And Real Madrid is depressed before its game. If the visitors manage to break the defense, it happens thanks to the individual actions of players with good skills. The Yellow Submarine became more organized during the pressure, and it should be useful in this game. Therefore, I choose a +1 handicap of Villarreal. Besides, this bet has never lost in the five last head-to-head matches, and there are no serious reasons for it to lose now.
Prediction for the match: Villarreal to win with +1.0 handicap
