Villarreal Vs Atletico Madrid Football Prediction, Betting Tip & Match Preview

This Sunday February 28, 2021, Villarreal welcomes Atlético Madrid for a match of the 25th day of the Spanish La Liga championship. The match will take place at the Estadio de la Cerámica de Villarreal and kick off will be at 9:00 p.m. In the standings, Villarreal is 6th with 37 points and Atlético Madrid is installed in 1st place with 55 units. On the previous day, Villarreal went to a draw at Athletic Bilbao and Atlético Madrid lost at home to Levante.

Villarreal relies on protection!

Villarreal are having a good season and are in 6th place in La Liga. But their results seem a little strange to me.

On the one hand, they have only 3 losses so far. On the other hand, there are already 6 championship matches without a victory. But 5 of them are draws.

In general, they are called the Kings of Equality in La Liga.

And the reason they can't win their matches is the dissonance between a strong defense and an ineffective attack.

Villarreal are the lowest scoring of the top teams.

Probably will not have problems with space for LE in the next edition. But they no longer have any hopes for the Champions League.

Atletico Madrid are stuck!

Atletico Madrid is in a mini crisis with only 1 victory from its last 5 matches in all tournaments.

Carasco and Jimenez are absent for this match.

The last 5 matches between these two teams are 3 draws and 2 wins for Atletico Madrid.

As the first game of the season it was 0-0.

Forecast for Villarreal - Atletico

Undoubtedly, this match is much more important for Atletico Madrid, because Real are only 3 points behind them, albeit with a match more.

In my opinion, for Athletes, even the loss to Chelsea was not off schedule. For them, only the La Liga title is important.

At Villarreal, I think it's just the opposite. And the priority is the Europa League.

I choose a victory for the guests. But instead of an accurate score of 0-1, I prefer to insure simply with a triumph of zero.

A small bet for this forecast.
