Atletico Madrid will be desperate to return to the summit of LaLiga as they prepare to host Villarreal, who are eyeing a top-four finish, at the Wanda Metropolitano on Saturday.
The Colchoneros missed a golden opportunity to climb to the top of the table ahead of title favorites Real Madrid and Barcelona, but luck was certainly not on their side last week, as they suffered a damaging 0-1 defeat away to Leganes and missed a penalty in the 90th minute. Atletico Madrid quickly brought smiles back to their fans' faces after staging a remarkable comeback with 10 men to defeat Leverkusen, and the hero of the night was Julian Alvarez, who netted a brace to put his team within touching distance of a direct spot in the Champions League round of 16.
Unlike their opposition from the capital, Villarreal failed to secure the right to participate in European competitions due to last season's weaker placement in La Liga, but this season they have demonstrated high ambitions and put in the hard work necessary to bring European football back to El Madrigal. Judging by the current standings, Villarreal have a strong chance of securing a Champions League spot as they currently hold fifth place with 33 points on the board, which puts them just six points behind fourth-placed Athletic Bilbao.
Atletico Madrid vs Villarreal Betting Tips: ATLETICO MADRID TO WIN
Just days after pulling off a stunning comeback against the German champion in front of their passionate Metropolitano supporters, the Colchoneros will now aim to cap off the week in style and temporarily reclaim their spot at the summit of the standings. By dismantling Leverkusen midweek, Atletico Madrid made it a seventh straight triumph at home across all competitions, and they will look to capitalize on their home-field advantage once again to remain firmly in the title race. Villarreal's recent performances on the road raise doubts ahead of an awkward trip to the Spanish capital, as they have suffered defeat in three of their last four visits, including a 0-1 loss to third-division side Pontevedra that saw them crash out of the Copa del Rey. Although the Yellow Submarine have the ability to upset anyone, we believe they will struggle to shine this time, as Atletico Madrid appear unstoppable with 16 triumphs from their last 17 matches and seem poised to clear yet another hurdle on their way to the title.
