La Liga
Sky Sports Football, 7.45pm Saturday

A weakened Real Madrid suffered a 3-2 defeat at Sevilla recently and Zinedine Zidane could protect his star names on their trip to Villarreal with next Saturday’s Champions League showdown against Liverpool on his mind.

The Yellow Submarine have won four of their last five home games, including wins over Atletico and Valencia, and can topple a Madrid side whose attention may be elsewhere.

Recommendation
Villarreal
1pt 21-10 bet365

Key stat
Real Madrid have conceded seven goals in their last four away games.
