Villarreal vs Atletico Madrid Predictions

• Atletico have lost six of their last 10 in all competitions
• The Yellow Submarine are on a three game winning streak
• Atletico were 3-1 winners in the reverse fixture

Villarreal can further abject Atletico’s woes

Monday night football in La Liga sees two of Spain’s most well known clubs go head-to-head and the recent form of Diego Simeone’s men will see Villarreal enter this meeting with a lot of confidence.

The Colchoneros are on a two game losing streak in the league, with these defeats to Barcelona and relegation-threatened Cadiz both coming to nil.

The Yellow Submarine meanwhile are enjoying a resurgence up the table that is keeping the faint glimmer of European football for next season alive, with Marcelino’s side winning each of their last four domestic league fixtures to leave Villarreal ninth and eight points off Real Sociedad in sixth.

Recent meeting between these two sides have regular produced drama and goals in equal measure, with both sides finding the net in four of the last five encounters. Atletico’s confidence and form makes it difficult to back them for a win or even a draw and, with Villarreal unbeaten in seven games at their Estadio de la Ceramica home, the points should stay with the hosts and a 2-1 winning margin draws looks to be a worthwhile punt.
