Atletico Madrid will be bidding to get their La Liga title challenge back on track when they welcome Villarreal to Wanda Metropolitano on Saturday afternoon.
Atletico Madrid:
Atletico Madrid will aim to recover from last weekend's shocking loss to Leganes as they look to reclaim the top spot in La Liga. Diego Simeone's men, boasting an impressive home record with 26 points from 10 matches, will rely on their defensive solidity, having conceded just six goals at Wanda Metropolitano this season. Fresh off a 2-1 Champions League victory over Bayer Leverkusen, Atletico are in strong form, but they must be wary of Villarreal’s attacking threat as they push to stay ahead in the title race.
Villarreal:
Villarreal arrive at Wanda Metropolitano as one of La Liga's most prolific teams, with 38 goals this season. However, their defensive fragility—31 goals conceded in 20 matches—could prove costly against a resolute Atletico side. Marcelino's men are firmly in the top-four hunt, six points behind Athletic Bilbao, and recent wins over Leganes and Mallorca showcase their potential. With a positive recent record against Atletico, including a 2-2 draw earlier this season, the Yellow Submarine will aim to exploit any lapses to secure a vital result.
