Villarreal vs Atletico Madrid Predictions

• Villarreal have drawn 13 of their 24 league matches this term (W8, L3) including five of their last six (L1).
• The Yellow Submarine have lost just one of their dozen starts at La Ceramica, winning five and drawing six.
• Atletico Madrid have won just one of their last four league matches (D2, L1) but have lost just one of their 11 outings on the road this season (W8, D2).

Draw specialists to hold the leaders

After winning just one of their last four games, the chasers are closing in on Atletico Madrid at the top of La Liga and Los Colchoneros will be desperate to secure a positive result to calm the nerves when they travel to La Ceramica on Sunday night.

Diego Simeone’s charges have been dominant domestically throughout the campaign up until the last three weeks, but a home draw with Celta Vigo and just a single point from a double header against Levante has seen Atleti’s advantage cut to three points.

They were also turned over at Wanda Metropolitano again by Chelsea in the Champions League on Tuesday night (0-1) and face a difficult task here as they bid to get back on track, considering Villarreal have lost just one of their dozen starts at La Ceramica this term (W5, D6).

Unai Emery’s side are then top flight’s draw specialists with a remarkable 13 stalemates racked up in 24 league matches this season and that could well be the outcome at full time this Sunday night.

The Yellow Submarine have drawn five of their last six domestically and are unbeaten in their last five home league meetings against Atleti (W3, D2), so there’s every reason to believe they can earn another point this time around with the visitors going through a cold spell.
