Villarreal vs Atletico Madrid 09.01.2022

Villareal will look to make it 7 straight wins across all competitions in Sunday’s La Liga tie against Atletico Madrid. After an initial blip, Emery’s men seem to have turned the corner picking up all 12 points in the last 4 games.

Atletico, on the other hand, are not having good at the moment having won just one league game in the last 5.

Going by the current run of both sides, Villareal are favorites heading into this one. However, given how competitive past meetings have been, we still expect a firm challenge from Atletico.

Therefore, we are predicting a keenly contested encounter with less than three goals scored.
