RM vs VIL Dream11 | Real Madrid vs Villarreal FC La Liga Match Preview

Real Madrid visits Villarreal for the third game of this La Liga season which will be played at the Estadio de la Ceramica in Villarreal, Spain.

Real Madrid is coming into this game on the back of a 1-1 draw against Real Valladolid. Playing a draw against a newly promoted team has definitely raised questions on Real Madrid’s potential.

Villarreal ended their last season campaign disappointingly on the 14th position which was their lowest finish since 2011-12. They need to prove a point for themselves in this season and shrug off the last season’s disappointment.
