Spanish La Liga Previews Week 23: Sunday's Matches

Real Madrid vs. Villarreal

Real Madrid welcomes Villarreal to Santiago Bernabeu to continue their title hopeful season. By winning the match against Xerez 3-0, los Blancos was able to close the gap between themselves and Barcelona to two, which puts the Santiago Bernabeu outfit’s future in their own hands with the second El Clasico still to be played.

Villarreal saw their efforts against Wolfsburg in the Europa League end in a draw despite heading into the game after a fresh 2-1 over Athletic Bilbao. Look out for the Galaticos to produce a memorable game against the Yellow Submarines as it seems like despite the 1-0 loss to Lyon mid-week, Cristiano Ronaldo and other Madrid stars are eager to score and block goals.

The scary part is that they are in-form too, which increases the potential for goals too.

Valencia vs. Getafe

Valencia is heading into this fixture after taking part in the biggest upset of the Europa League so far.

The los Che lost 1-0 to Club Brugge to dig themselves a hole and greater difficulty in advancing the tournament. However, Valencia has been quite consistent over the past month and hence, should be able to put up a good match.

Title aspirations are gone, as they sit third, but 12 points behind pace settlers Barcelona.

Getafe continues to show some impressive play, most notably through the 1-0 win over Sevilla couple fixtures ago. Sitting at 8th, the visitors should certainly give the Mestalla side a run for their money and points.
