Villarreal to hold out of sorts Atletico

Villarreal CF vs Atlético Madrid - 06/12/2019

04/12/19 2711

Atletico Madrid’s bid for the Spanish title this season has been hit by a recent dip in form. Diego Simeone’s team head into Friday nights trip to Villarreal in underwhelming form.

In their last league outing, Atletico suffered late heartbreak on home soil against Barcelona, as Lionel Messi produced another piece of magic for Atletico to suffer a late 1-0 defeat.

The loss ended a ten-game unbeaten run for Los Colchoneros. The unbeaten run may sound impressive, but unfortunately for the team from the capital they have drawn far too many games in La Liga this season.

In reality, Atletico have won just two of their last nine matches in the Spanish top-flight. The defeat at the Nou Camp means that they are now sixth place in the table and six points behind the leaders in the title race.

Atletico’s recent away games have illustrated their problems, as the visitors have drawn their previous four league matches on their travels while winning just once in six games. As has now become the custom with Atletico, those recent away games have been low-scoring tight affairs, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last seven matches on their travels.

Villarreal have endured an underwhelming campaign so far in La Liga. The Yellow Submarine are currently 13th place in the table, just five points clear of the relegation zone. Javi Calleja’s team are closer to the relegation spots than the European berths heading into this potentially tough clash.

The home side are in the midst of a five-game winless run in the Spanish top-flight, having suffered four defeats. Their main problem has been poor defensive displays, as the Yellow Submarine have conceded at least two goals in four of their previous five matches in the Spanish top-flight.

With neither team in great form in La Liga, it comes as little surprises that Forebet predicts that this game will finish in a low-scoring draw.
