Real Madrid has a chance to win multiple Spanish La Liga titles in the upcoming season, with a two-point lead over Girona. Despite their slow pace, Real Madrid has won six out of the last seven matches in all competitions. Their recent win against Union Berlin, despite a lack of a win, was a 3-2 victory, thanks to their superior ball possession and goal-scoring.

Villarreal, who have been in fourth to seventh position in La Liga since 2013, may face another unsuccessful year after only 16 points in their first 16 league matches. However, they managed to win 3-2 in the Europa League against Rennes, ending their three-game losing streak.

Real Madrid secured the Champions League knockout phase, but coach Carlo Ancelotti rested many starters in the final game against Union Berlin. With the game played on Tuesday, most players will have enough time to recover, with Eduardo Camavinga, Daniel Carvajal, Thibaut Courtois, Arda Guler, Eder Militao, Aurelien Tchouameni, and Vinicius Junior remaining sidelined for Sunday.

Villarreal suffered three injuries in their recent win against Rennes, including Juan Foyth, Francis Coquelin, and Mattia Gabbia, who will not play on Sunday’s match against Real Madrid. The remaining players are Santi Comesana, Yeremi Pino, and Aissa Mandi.
