Atletico Madrid and Villareal meet in a match of the 25th round in La Liga. Confrontation will be disputed on Sunday, at 15:15, on Wanda Metropolitano.
In the turn of the season, Atletico scored a point in the move from Estadio de la Ceramica, the game ended with a score of 1-1. 16 times the two bands met in Madrid, each time in La Liga, and the host team managed to impose 8 times, while the guests won only 4 wins. In the last 4 away games in Madrid, Villareal scored two victories and two draws.
Diego Simeone’s band comes with an excellent morale at this game, after two wins won, 1-0 at Rayo Vallecano in the championship, and 2-0 at home with Juventus in the UEFA Champions League. It was the 14th success of Wanda Metropolitano by Madrileni this season in all competitions.
Lucas Hernandez is the only uncertainty for Diego Simeone before the duel with Villareal.
At one point away from the standings outside the relegation zone, the “yellow submarine” is on this duel after a series of 5 games played in all competitions where they did not know the taste of defeat. On Thursday, they ended the draw of the 16th European League with Sporting Lisbon, 1-1, a score that secured to the Iberians in the next round of the competition, thanks to the victory gained in the Portuguese tour with the score of 1-0 .
In the last round of the championship, Villareal has landed on his own field with no score in the 4th position in Sevilla, through the goals scored by Alvaro (20 ‘), Karl Toko Ekambi (45’) and Alfonso (86) ‘).
Bruno Soriano, Manu Trigueros and Daniele Bonera are injured and will not be present on the field in the Wanda Metropolitano dispute.
Probable teams:
Atletico Madrid: Oblak – Arias, Gimenez, Godin, Luis – Koke, Rodrigo, Niguez, Lemar – Morata, Girezmann;
Villareal: Asenjo – Mori, Gonzalez, Ruiz – Gaspar, Fornals, Cazorla, Iborra, Pedraza – Bacca, Ekambi;
Both bands had difficult parties this week, but, unlike Villareal, Atletico had an extra day of rest. Diego Simeone’s band is the most valuable team and should be forced into this confrontation, not to risk falling to the last stage of the La Liga podium at the end of this stage.
PREDICTION: Atl. Madrid to win @ 1,55
