The visit of Villarreal at the Santiago Bernabeu is one of the most difficult encounters Real Madrid until end of season, a key duel in the league resurrection as a single point of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, facing a new absence of Bale.
For the umpteenth time this season, a physical mishap prevents Gareth Bale have continuity. At the moment the club does not reveal the area of the new Welsh muscle disease, and words of Zinedine Zidane, he hopes is an overload, it points back to their soleus.
Real Madrid's streak of six consecutive wins, gets the tough test of Villarreal. Launched in self-esteem and a climate of euphoria in the madridismo who again tries to curb Zidane, Real Madrid feels obliged to win all the remaining days if you want to speed up their options to finish as champion, and achieved the feat of overcoming thirteen Barcelona points.
There will be changes forced the head of Zidane, and absences that can touch your computer system. Declining Bale could modify the drawing four midfielders, with Colombian James Rodriguez and Isco Alarcon fighting for a spot. In defense by Dani Carvajal will not be a sharp blow, or the Portuguese Pepe for rest. Their positions will be for Brazilian Danilo, who returns after suspension, and for captain Sergio Ramos who got a break in Getafe.
Zidane you will oxygenate the midfield with the return of Brazilian Casemiro and Croatian Luka Modric, in a cast of minutes calculated to be fresh in key appointments. The goals of Cristiano Ronaldo look in great run, and Karim Benzema, who retaliates their penalties in the field, and after scoring against Getafe want to continue to display the error to exclude the French Federation for the next European Championship.
Meanwhile, Villarreal arrive at Santiago Bernabeu with the idea of scoring and stay in fourth place with a comfortable advantage over their pursuers.
His defeat last weekend in Vallecas against Rayo (2-1) has given the opportunity for rivals to cut points in the battle for the final spot in the Champions League and yellow set knows that a new setback him complicate your goal.
Marcelino's team continues to maintain a six-point lead against the fifth-placed Athletic Club, so their situation is by no means limit, but are aware that they should try not to further reduce this distance.
But they know that the Bernabeu is not now the best place to think of a score or win, as also is the only field in which the League have never joined the three points.
Added to this is the team arrives diminished somewhat effective as it continues with low weight as Mateo Musacchio, Tomás Pina, Jaume Costa or Samu Castillejo, who are still out through injury. Central doubt Victor Ruiz, discomfort in the knee is added the striker Roberto Soldado, by back problems, and.
The good news for Marcelino García Toral is that it can count on players like Bruno Soriano or Antonio Rukavina, returning from suspension. With all this, you can align an eleven made up of a mix of regulars and coming players playing less. Within alternating in goal by betting a month ago, Sergio Asenjo would be chosen for this meeting detriment of Alphonse Areola.
- Probable lineups
Real Madrid: Keylor Navas; Danilo, Varane, Sergio Ramos, Marcelo; Casemiro, Kroos, Modric, James; Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema.
Villarreal: Asenjo; Mario Gaspar, Bailly, Bonera and Victor Ruiz, Rukavina; Bruno Soriano, Manu Trigueros, Denis Suarez, Jonathan Dos Santos; Adrian, Bakambu.

Barcelona is favorite to win La Liga
Despite its setbacks in recent days, there are several good reasons to believe that Barca will lift the league title.
The club , despite their defeat in Valencia and despite having scored a point in one of the last twelve disputed points, is the favorite to win the league . These are the reasons to believe that the club has more arguments than Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid to lift the title.
1. The club continues to depend on himself
In a final league as tight as the one we live in, the goal-average is decisive. It has an advantage over Atletico (1-2 and 2-1) and Madrid (0-4 and 1-2). Hence the vital importance of having won three of the four games against its two biggest rivals, had it not been so, things have changed a lot.
2. Increased experience clinchers
Although Real Madrid and Atletico have played important games in recent times, the fact is that Barca, except in his stumbling in the Super Cup against Athletic , has handled the pressure very well since arriving Luis Enrique and solved five finals that they ended in title.
3. Best League trident, and history?
Never an attacking trio understood so well and gave such good results as forming MSN. Messi (23 goals and 10 assists), Neymar (21 goals and 11 assists) and Suarez (26 goals and 12 assists) added 103 points ( total goals and assists), by 95 Madrid (Cristiano, Benzema and Bale) or 52 Atletico (Griezmann, Torres and Koke ).
5. Greater break the rest
In a final section where the energies are at least any time to rest and recover it is critical. Not play the Champions qualifiers allows them to enjoy longer than Atletico and Real Madrid to recover and prepare their matches.
6. The calendar, pro
Although Atletico is the one who played more home games (3 by 2 Barcelona and Madrid) the fact is that only one of the Catalans rivals, Sporting , life is played (the logic says that Depor, Betis and Espanyol they are saved and that the Granada will come with the homework done on the last date).
7. The cards ... Barca is the team with fewer card League (59 yellow and 1 red) ahead of Real Madrid (59 yellow and 5 red) and Atletico Madrid (81 yellow and 3 red). 8. ... And Misses In the final stretch of the season where the cards can condition the alignments of the three coaches, the club takes advantage. It has no apperceived while Atletico has Godin and Griezmann , its two pillars, a card meet cycle and the Real Madrid the list is larger Varane, Casemiro, Nacho, Lucas Vázquez .

Harry Kane or Vardy? Comparison between the Gunners Premier League shows incredible balance
Leicester and Tottenham fight for the English title, and much of the hopes of both teams are placed in their gunners: Jamie Vardy and Harry Kane, respectively. Individual dispute between centroavantes the England squad is far fiercer in relation to their teams by the Premier League trophy.
On Monday (18), Tottenham closed the distance in relation to Leicester. Now, five points divide the teams. And victory over Stoke City had another excellent display Kane, who scored two goals and surpassed Vardy in the artillery of the event. Until this 34th round were 24 goals from 10 shirt of Spurs against 22 paragraph 9 of the Foxes.
Impossible not want to analyze which of the two is the best, the most decisive.
But the comparison is hard, the most balanced between players fighting for artillery a national tournament, considering the major European leagues. This season, both played the same number of matches (34). Kane takes advantage in number of goals scored (24-22) and balance more networks in less time (a goal every 125 minutes against 134 Vardy).
Important for a striker: the ace of Tottenham is also the more hits the target in its final touches. The ball takes the direction of the goal in 63.3% of their attempts, while Jamie succeeds "only" 58.1% of occasions. It is also worth noting that while Jamie Vardy started the current season with no expectation, Harry Kane took over the number 10 shirt and would have to prove their role.
All the spotlight would be on top of the young man who just had not scored more goals than Sergio Aguero in the 2014-15 edition. And the response has been spectacular, even higher than expected. Considering since last season, Kane only did more goals than Aguero (47-45), which is a player much more experienced and which acts in a stronger team.
English has more goals than the entire team demoted Aston Villa. Regardless of the reserved Tottenham target this year, Harry Kane proved here to stay. It is not a promise that did not work: in the last 25 games in which swelled the networks, your club did not know the taste of defeat. Kane is decisive and unbalances, that's a fact.
On the other hand, Jamie Vardy may be at a disadvantage in the race for artillery. However, participating in more goals bids. While Kane has just one assist in the competition, 9 Leicester shirt counts six. No other player played both, and directly, the goal moves.
Vardy manages to escape more impediment (three less compared to Kane), but the big difference is that it produces more chances of goals for his teammates. Harry Kane can have a better use in the finishing touches, but Jamie Vardy contributes more to the team (47 opportunities created against 41). Despite the balance, is the player who more times opened the scoring, ie scored the first goal in this edition of the Premier League.
In 11 games, 9 shirt of the team coached by Italian Claudio Ranieri left his team the lead.
Balance is amazing, and the task of pointing out who is the best is not easy. The funny thing is that the analysis of both coincide quite with Tottenham and Leicester. Kane played with more responsibility back with the largest display, and is decisive. In the opinion of most of the English chroniclers, it is a more complete striker.
Already Vardy surprised, shocked everyone and has made history by beating the record of Ruud van Nistelrooy, scoring 11 goals in consecutive Premier League games. Not to mention the letter goal record in the friendly match between England and Germany. He delights not only for their goals, the main there is his story, the player who until recently played in the lower divisions and seemed to be more a mediocre among so many.
Harry Kane is a reflection of Tottenham, the most balanced team event (have the best defense and best attack in the competition). Vardy is excellent, accurate and has a lovely story ... just like Leicester City. In the battle to decide who is the best, who does well in all this is Roy Hodgson, coach of the England squad, and the general football fans.
