Match Preview
Javier Calleja's men will not see Atletico as opposed to the ideal as they look to end winless in five matches in La Liga and create some much needed momentum.
Following an excellent first campaign under Calleja during the 2017-18 season, in which Villarreal finished fifth, the club has been a real struggle for consistency, stumbled into the 14th position last season and are currently languishing in the same position after 14 games this time.
There is a lot of talent on this team and the potential to cause serious damage to your opponent, as seen through a rampant 5-1 win over Real Betis in September, with the striker Karl Ekambi shop attracts visitors across the field with his electric movement.
such as performance, hallmarked by blistering speed and accuracy of cruel, it is always possible when you have players like Santi Cazorla and Gerard Moreno playing in the final third.
But as Villarreal prepare to face Atletico, they will know that this capability should be coupled with the perfect mindset for more than 90 minutes if they capture the current slump in the results.
Prediction Villarreal vs Atletico Madrid
Prediction score: 2-1 Villarreal
Villarreal did not play badly in the defeat at Mestalla last weekend and could easily have got something from the game. It was a performance that is more encouraging and while their current form is poor, it is only 1 defeat in 10 league outings in Ceramica and they only failed to score in one of their last 29 games at home. Given the Atleti struggle and the recent history of this fixture, this feels like it could be another dark day for Los Rojiblancos.
