La Liga: Villarreal vs Atletico Madrid live
Preview
Atletico Madrid visit Villarreal on Sunday in La Liga as they seek to enter into the top four with a win over their hosts.
Villarreal sit eighth on the La Liga table with twenty eight points from nineteen games. The home side have two loses in their last six league games and then went on to win all of their last four league games. Villarreal come into this game after a disappointing 2-1 loss to Sporting Gijon in the Copa del Rey.
Atletico Madrid sit fifth on the La Liga table with thirty two points from nineteen games. The away side come into this game on the back of a 5-0 victory over Rayo Majadahonda in the Copa del Rey. The visitors have two wins from their last six league games, losing four games in the process, which is quite abysmal for the defending champions.
Head-to-head
Villarreal have failed to win any of their last seven meetings with Atletico Madrid, losing three games and drawing four games. The away side have also avoided defeat in their last three visits to El Madrigal, winning a game and drawing two games. Both teams recent meeting ended in a 2-2 draw earlier this season.
Prediction
A look at their head to head games will make you tip the visitors to get the maximum points on Sunday evening but the home side is also in great vein of form. Nevertheless, the away side has the quality to get something out of this game so I will tip them to return to the capital with either a point or all three points.
