Atlético Madrid - Villarreal betting tips and odds

Atlético Madrid should not have bigger problems running away with three points in this match if they stick to their game plan. However, Villarreal can be a tough nut to crack and the home side need to be on top of their game.

Villarreal appear severely unprepared for a clash with Los Rojiblancos, to the point of being considered hard underdogs. We would consider even a draw a success, so the long 4.50 odds for an away win bit seem fitting.

The latest showing from Atletico Madrid can be called a tour de force. Getafe were somewhat weaker opponents, true, but 0:3 result in an away game deserves nothing but praise.

Betting predictions expected a lot from Villarreal going into their previous match against Real Valladolid, but little came of it in the first half. The second half brought much-needed change, though, and they went on to bag a decisive 0:3 victory.

A clash between these two teams last season ended in a stalemate. Overall, this was worse news for Los Rojiblancos, who are widely considered the stronger team.

The Yellow Submarine will have an even more difficult time of this match than what was expected. They will be missing at least a few players due to injury - Alberto Moreno, Manu Trigueros, Arnaut Danjuma, Kiko Femenía will all be unable to perform.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 1.78.
