In the 17th round of the Spanish championship, the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in the capital will host the match between Real Madrid and Villarreal.

Since 2011, the teams have faced each other twelve times at the Blancos' home. Los Blancos have claimed seven home victories, with three draws. Last spring, the Yellow Submarine earned just their second away win against the giants since the early 2000s, as Chukwueze netted a brace in the historic 3-2 encounter.

The hosts boast the best defensive record in the league with just ten goals conceded. Additionally, Ancelotti’s men have scored 34 goals — only Girona has more. This season, the Galácticos have won six out of seven home games, scoring at least two goals in each, except in the goalless draw against Rayo Vallecano. According to Defensa Central, Kepa could remain in La Liga, possibly joining Valencia. The report states that Chelsea is considering a swap deal involving Kepa Arrizabalaga and Valencia’s goalkeeper Mamardashvili. Moreover, if Lunin does not want to remain Courtois’ backup, his place may be taken by Mallorca’s Rajković, who has reportedly caught the attention of club president Florentino Pérez.

Villarreal has won just two of their seven away matches. In their last six away fixtures, the Valencian side managed only one win — against Granada (3-2). In that period, the Submarine kept a clean sheet only against Getafe (0-0). According to Okdiario, the team is keeping an eye on Lunin. ESPN reports that the Yellow Submarine is also planning a winter move for Arsenal defender Cédric Soares, who will become a free agent in the summer.
