Villarreal vs Elche prediction, odds and how to watch

Real Madrid ground out a 1-0 win over Villarreal at the Bernabeu, with Yan Diomande's 62nd-minute goal proving decisive, but the night belonged to VAR, red cards, and a dressing room that cannot keep its discipline.

Villarreal ended a three-match losing run in La Liga with a commanding 3-1 home victory over Levante, with Ayoze Pérez, Alberto Moleiro, and Georges Mikautadze all on target.

Espanyol were reduced to ten men inside four minutes through a VAR-reviewed card on Federico Redondo, and Elche made them pay in ruthless fashion, running out 3-1 winners in La Liga on Friday night.

Elche host Valencia on Sunday with both sides in desperate form and neither able to keep a clean sheet. Something has to give, but right now there is very little evidence either side knows how to stop the bleeding.

Villarreal host Espanyol on Friday night in a La Liga fixture that has goals written all over it. Neither side has looked convincing in defence, and someone has to stop the rot.

Rayo Vallecano host Elche on Saturday with both sides yet to keep a single clean sheet in their last five La Liga matches. Someone's defensive record has to break. The question is which side wants it more.

Paris Saint Germain arrive in Spain unbeaten in five Champions League matches and carrying serious momentum. Villarreal have one completed result in this campaign and it was not pretty.

Liverpool have shipped five goals in their last three Champions League matches and kept zero clean sheets. Villarreal arrive on Tuesday knowing the home side are there to be hurt.
