Real Madrid have won all four of their home league games so far this season and Valverde’s bullet has given the hosts a major advantage at the interval.

However, Villarreal are unbeaten away from home in 2024/25, but secret late goal weapon Ayoze Perez is absent in Madrid due to a muscle injury for the Spanish international.
