Atl. Madrid vs Villarreal Prediction & Betting Tips (25 January)

So, no one expected that. In the form of its life, Atlético, riding on 15 successive victories in all competitions, had the opportunity to increase its lead over Real Madrid at the head of the table but ultimately lost last weekend, at Butarque against Leganes with a missed penalty from Griezmann by crossing his shot too far 1-0. Obviously, such a great gift was seized by the Merengue and now, the Colchoneros are under pressure and must win today to temporarily regain the leading position. Note that during the week, the Madrilenians hosted the Germans Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League to follow. 5th in the elite, Villarreal did very well on Monday evening against Mallorca , in a match counting for 5th place by winning with a clear score of 4 to 0 by registering the 4 pawns in the space of 8 minutes 20", 28".

Incredible performance from Marcelino's men who now have to maintain their lead over Mallorca in order to advance to the Europa League next season. The top 4 is a little further away, but you never know. It should still be noted that the Yellow Submarine has only won two of its last eight matches in La Liga but a great away victory at Leganes with a victory reassures the supporters 2-5.

For this poster, defenders Clément Lenglet and Javi Galan will be suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards. Central defender Gimenez is still injured, the same goes for prolific rookie Sörloth (8 goals in the league) who was probably missed by his team against Leganes. Author of 7 goals in the championship, "Grizi" took responsibility for a penalty last weekend but crossed his shot too far from 11 meters from the cage, which more or less earned Atléti a defeat. At Villarreal, the starting goalkeeper Conde, the full-back Pedraza, and the Moroccan crack Akhomach (end of season), will be missing, all three injured.

Note that Spanish international Ayoze Perez (8 goals in 13 appearances in La Liga) is reportedly suffering from a muscle injury and could miss the Metropolitano today. Former Toulousan Logan Costa, creative midfielders Baena and Parejo, not forgetting the flying winger Pino all scored against Mallorca. Frenchman Barry (7 goals, 3 assists in the league) did not score but provided an assist.
