The Atletico Madrid vs Villareal match will be played on Tuesday, April 25, at the Vicente Calderon Stadium, Madrid. Atletico Madrid is currently 3rd on the table with 68 points, while Villareal is 5th on the table with 57 points at the moment.
In their previous 10 meetings, Atletico Madrid recorded 5 victories, Villareal won 3 games, while 2 games ended in a draw. In 7 out of the last 8 games, we saw under 2.5 goals scored.
Atletico Madrid almost secured the 3rd place on the table, and they are focused on Champions League semifinal against Real Madrid. That doesn't mean they will not put a maximum effort into the match against Villareal and every other opponent until the end of the Primera season, Diego Simeone wouldn't allow that to his players. On the other hand, Villareal will have a chance to surprise them, because they need those points more than Atletico at the moment. Latest matches: Atletico Madrid

Villareal lost the race for the 4th place against Sevilla because of 3 surprising defeats, against Alaves, Eibar and Las Palmas, the teams that are far weaker on paper. The Yellow Submarine had many problems against the teams from the lower half of the table throughout the season, and they paid the ultimate price - Villareal won't play in Champions League in the upcoming season. Although they are 5th at the moment, the top 6 and Europa League qualification spot are not secured - Athletic Bilbao is only 4 points behind, and they have a match in hand!

Atletico Madrid is certainly a favorite in this match, but Villareal will seek their chance. We expect a nervous game, without many chances and goals.
