Villarreal vs Atletico Madrid Betting Preview
Villarreal
It has already been a successful season for Villarreal, as their La Liga ranking has earned them a place in next season’s Europa League. That finish would have been their pre-season goal. But they may have achieved a Champions League spot had they have claimed victories in matches that were ultimately drawn.
Regardless, they come into the final match of the season in fine form, as they have won three of their last four matches. Meanwhile, they have lost just once across their last five matches in La Liga. But that defeat was suffered in their previous outing against Rayo Vallecano last weekend.
Villarreal has been incredibly consistent across their last 15 matches, as they have suffered just three defeats. Over the same period, they have registered ten wins. History could be made this weekend, as Villarreal could become only the third team to ever record victories over Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid in all four league clashes in a single season.
Atletico Madrid
Atletico Madrid were very slow starters in La Liga this term, but they have recovered very well to secure Champions League soccer next season with games to spare. The capital club is still fighting to finish second in the overall standings, but they will need to pick up maximum points on the final day and hope Real Madrid fail to win at the Bernabeu.
Atletico’s form has been slightly patchy in recent weeks, as they have registered three wins from five matches and have been held to a draw in their previous two. However, they ended their home season in excellent style last weekend with a 2-1 success against Real Sociedad.
Atletico also has an excellent record in away fixtures against Villarreal, as they have won three of their last four matches at El Madrigal. However, their recent form on the road would be a slight concern for those siding on the traveling side when making Villarreal vs Atletico Madrid picks, as they have lost two from their last four away from home.
Villarreal vs Atletico Madrid Betting Picks
Atletico’s recent struggles on the road are a concern coming into this fixture, especially considering Villarreal’s form since the start of February. Draws have been a common result in this fixture since 2015, with seven of the last 15 ending level. That could be a value angle this weekend, with both soccer teams finding the net in 90 minutes.
- Pick 1: Draw (+250)
- Pick 2: Both Teams To Score (-200)
