Atletico Madrid seeks to revive their title challenge as they welcome Villarreal for a Spanish La Liga match on Saturday. They are up against a Villarreal team that has struggled in their recent away matches and should emerge victorious. The Atletico Madrid vs Villarreal game will kick off at 15:15 UK Time.
Atletico Madrid’s pursuit of the title faced a setback in their most recent league match, suffering an unexpected 1-0 loss to the struggling Leganes. On the brink of yet another defeat in the Champions League, they managed to turn the tide and secure a 2-1 victory against Bayer Leverkusen. The hosts will be energised by their victory over the German champions. They have achieved 16 victories in their last 17 matches.
Villarreal are experiencing a challenging period, yet they have recently demonstrated a determination to contend for a top four position. In their most recent match, they bounced back from a 1-0 defeat against Real Sociedad, triumphing over Mallorca with a score of 4-0. The Yellow Submarines accomplished that in an eight-minute surge and will aim to replicate the same against a more formidable Atletico side. They haven’t found much enjoyment in this fixture recently, as they’ve been unable to secure a victory in any of the last four matches. In their last meeting, there were encouraging signs, as Villarreal took the lead on two occasions in the 2-2 draw. They have, however, secured only one victory in their last five away matches.
