Villarreal vs Atletico Prediction: the guests will be closer to victory

Prediction for the La Liga match which will take place on August 19. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Castellonians have just one win in six friendlies in the off-season against Sion. At the same time, the Yellows have defeats to Leicester, St Etienne and a rout of Brighton, draws with Forest and Borussia Dortmund. The results are weak, but should we judge the current tone of the future home team based on them? Villarreal continues to be coached by Marcelino, who arrived in November 2023, noting that the Submarine at the time of writing has a surplus of 56.5 million euros on transfers. They sold Sørloth for 32m, Jorgensen for 24.5, Diaz for 8.3, Cuenca for 6.7, plus Traore left the club as a free agent.

The team are clearly aiming for the title this season, they know that Real Madrid have not taken two La Liga titles in a row for a long time and Barcelona are not having the best of times and it is not certain that the Catalans have taken the right course in terms of a new coach. Atletico bought the rights from ManCity for Alvarez, plus bought in Villarreal Sørloth, in Real Sociedad Le Normand. They sold Morata to AC Milan, Suyunju to Fener, Depay and Hermoso are still without a club, and they loaned out Saul. In the off-season Madrid played four friendlies, defeated Getafe, Kitchee and Juventus, and drew with Numancia.

In the 2023/24 season Atletico beat Villarreal in both matches, and there is a feeling that they will be able to win the upcoming encounter too, despite the pitch factor. Madrid have strengthened a lot before the new season, it is felt that the capital team has the goal to regain the championship title, and for this it is necessary to demonstrate a high level, stability, etc. all season long. In this pairing we are on the side of Madrid, and as for the total, we hope that the top trend in the confrontation between the Submarine and their opponents will continue.
