Match Preview

Villarreal vs Atletico Madrid prediction. The meeting is scheduled for January 9, 2022. Let's look at the latest results of the teams and assess their chances of success in the upcoming meeting.

Atletico are the current champions of La Liga, but this season they can only compete for a place in the Champions League. Villarreal is only four points behind, so it can join the fight for European cups.

Personal meetings of the opponents

In a stretch of 28 matches, each side has 10 wins. Eight more meetings ended in a draw. One of them took place in August, in the third round of La Liga. Then each of the teams managed to score twice, and Atletico got away from defeat in the fifth minute of compensated time - 2:2.

Villarreal Review

Villarreal has improved a lot lately. However, after four consecutive victories, he rose only to eighth place in the standings. Moreover, in the last rounds, the yellows sent five goals to the gates of Alaves and Levante. All the more surprising that they flew out of the King's Cup. Moreover, Villarreal opened the scoring in a duel with Sporting, but missed twice - 1:2.

Atletico Madrid Review

Atletico did not finish the last calendar year in the best way. He suffered four defeats in a row and left the top 4 of La Liga. But after the break, the team was stronger than Rayo Vallecano - 2:0. This allowed us to return to the fourth place in the standings. And the day before, Atletico easily beat Rayo Majadahonda in the King's Cup and reached the 1/8 finals - 5-0.

The opponents' cup matches have developed differently this week. Villarreal lost, but this should motivate them for the upcoming meeting. Atletico felt confident, but that was hardly the problem of defense. Therefore, it is worth considering an option in which both sides will be able to distinguish themselves.
