Villarreal-Atletico Madrid is a match valid for the 30th day of La Liga and is played Monday at 9 p.m.: TV, lineups and predictions
Two defeats in a row in La Liga have resulted in Simeone’s Atletico Madrid, who eliminated Inter Milan from the Champions League in between, dropping out of the top four in the Spanish league. The place is evidently at risk, and the return to the pitch after the national team break is anything but soft for Cholo’s men. Who go to play on a pitch that has always been difficult, for all of them, against a team that is also in form.
Yes, Villarreal is fine. Or, better said: they were fine before the stop for the national teams. The men of the yellow submarine were traveling on the right tracks: three wins in a row, four in the last five. Yes, there was still elimination in the Cup. But the standings have become decent for Sorloth and co. with nine days to go, they have restored European hopes for next season as well. And they certainly do not want to stop right now.
In short, it is a challenge that is sure to provide excitement. And tense moments are not excluded either (so watch out for yellow cards as well). And, for the prediction, let’s look below at what is our idea for this match.
The prediction
In the last five confrontations Villarreal has never won against Atletico Madrid: three draws and two defeats. But it has never lost at home, and this is another sign to keep in mind. The challenge promises goals and spectacle, at least one goal per team. And even in this case we would dare to say that the draw could be there.
The probable formations of Villarreal-Atletico Madrid
VILLARREAL (4-4-2): Jorgensen; Kiko Femenis, Mosquera, Mandi, Cuenca; Traore, Comesana, Coquelin, Baena; Guedes, Sorloth.
