Villarreal are in good form, so they should be able to avoid defeat against Atletico Madrid. The game will end 1-1.
The Yellow Submarine to avoid defeat
Villarreal have not lost at home in La Liga in 2024.
As Villarreal have been strong at home in La Liga since the turn of the year, they will be banking on their form to take them through against the Rojiblancos. The Madrid side have had difficulties on the road in recent weeks and will not be the clear favourite for this clash.
Villarreal have won four of their past five games in all competitions. They have won the past three games at home, while Diego Simeone’s side have lost three of their past five games in that period.
However, in the head-to-head, three of the past five games have ended in stalemates, with the teams securing one win apiece. In addition, four of the past five meetings in Villarreal have ended in draws.
Therefore, in this Villarreal vs Atletico Madrid predictions piece, our betting expert is backing the home side not to lose.
Bet 1: Villarreal to win or draw & over 1.5 @ 2.06 with Bet9ja
Alexander Sorloth to score anytime
Sorloth spent the previous two seasons at Real Sociedad and could not reach a superb scoring form. The 28-year-old scored just 16 goals in 67 La Liga appearances.
Meanwhile, Sorloth has come alive at Villarreal this season. The striker has scored 13 goals in 25 La Liga games this term and has another five assists to his name. He should add more to his tally before the season comes to an end.
The Norwegian has scored five goals in his last four La Liga games, including a hattrick against Granada. He could continue his fine form against a shaky Atletico Madrid side.
The Rojiblancos have already conceded 11 goals in their last five games on the road in all competitions. This selection is probably a risky one, given how Atleti can be tight at the back.
However, Villarreal vs Atletico Madrid looks like a game that could produce this outcome. Hence, it is a decent tip.
Bet 2: Alexander Sorloth to score anytime @ 3.30 with BetKing
A second half of goals at Villarreal
Villarreal have scored 47 goals in La Liga this season, while Atletico Madrid have scored 54 goals. To put it in perspective, Villarreal are the sixth-highest-scoring team in La Liga, while Atleti are fourth on that scoring log.
The past two games involving the two teams at Estadi de la Ceràmica produced over 1.5 goals in the second half. In addition, Villarreal’s five of their last six games in all competitions have produced at least two goals in the second half.
The stats heavily favour this selection. Villarreal will be keen to get going and get closer to the Madrid side on the log, as the race for the Champions League spot heats up.
Given how Villarreal have played in the second half of games recently, our betting expert is tilting towards this goal direction again in this Villarreal vs Atletico Madrid predictions piece.
Bet 3: Second half over 1.5 @ 1.78 with Bet9ja
Villarreal to find the back of the net
Atletico Madrid have failed to keep a clean sheet in their past six away games in all competitions.
Villarreal have scored 47 goals in all their games in La Liga this season. Meanwhile, they have also scored in each of their past four home games in all competitions. Atleti have conceded more goals on the road (18) than at home (16).
Atletico Madrid are a different side when they play away from home. That is why the home side might have a chance against Diego Simeone’s men. Atleti are now a shadow of themselves defensively as they have conceded 11 goals in just their past five games in all competitions.
Moreover, the visitors have kept just two clean sheets in their past eight visits to Estadi de la Ceràmica. It is one of the bankers in this Villarreal vs Atletico Madrid predictions piece.
