Bet Over for Real Madrid vs Villarreal Match
Last week, Real Madrid failed to fulfill its role as favorites against Real Betis. That’s how difficult La Liga is. Nevertheless, Los Blancos are one victory away from getting back the top spot and, according to the latest soccer odds, they shouldn’t have too much trouble defeating Villarreal to be included in your soccer picks for December 17.

Real Madrid (12-3-1) is eager to bounce back in La Liga after drawing 1-1 to Real Betis. The good news is that Los Blancos remain unbeaten when playing at home and finished with a clean sheet in four of their last five games. On the other hand, Villarreal (4-4-8) only won one of its last five games but, curiously enough, has been considerably better when playing on the road, losing only one of its last nine matches. Consider that in your soccer predictions.

Over/UnderPick: Over 3½ goals (Ev)
Take the over without a doubt! Yes, the total is set at 3½ goals in La Liga betting odds, but keep in mind that Los Blancos are the league’s second top scoring team and Jude Bellingham, the tournament’s top scorer, plays for them. As for Villarreal, its attacking unit is led by a lethal trio: Alexander Sorloth, Gerard Moreno and Jose Morales.
Handicap Pick: Villarreal + 1½ (-114)
Real Madrid is going to win. Including the UEFA Champions League, Los Blancos have been flawless at home. They won their last four home games with a 14-3 aggregate. However, I expect the Yellow Submarine to put up a good fight, enough to recommend you include Villarreal + 1½ in your betting online ticket. Four of Villarreal’s last six games in all competitions finished with a draw or a one-goal difference.
Player Prop Pick: Jude Bellingham Anytime Goalscorer (+100)
As mentioned before, Jude Bellingham is on fire. The Englishman has scored 12 goals in La Liga, three more than any other player. Toni Kroos has been his most reliable partner since the German leads the team in assists with five. Go with Bellingham to score at any time and Kroos to get at least one assist for player prop picks.

If you were looking for an anytime goalscorer that plays for the visitors, Moreno is the answer. That leaves to also recommend you bet on “both teams to score – yes” in the sportsbook.
