Atletico Madrid hosts Villarreal in round 3 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, August 29th at Wanda Metropolitano (Madrid)
Atletico Madrid is the reigning champion of Spain. The club started the season 2021/2022 confidently. The team gained two victories in two rounds. Thus, if we skip the friendly games and take into account only the official confrontations, the Indians extended their unbeaten streak to seven matches. If we look at the big picture, little has changed. Diego Simeone's players won in their usual style — with a one-goal advantage. The match against Celta ended with an away victory 1-2, and the result of the home game against Elche was decided by the only accurate shot. In both matches, the Mattresses delivered only four shots on target of the opponents' goal, and the xG indicator was fixed at marks of 1.81 and 1.05, respectively. Interestingly, all three goals were scored by Angel Correa. After the final whistle, the head coach Simeone noted that the team needed a forward. And the other day, the Indians bought Matheus Cunha from Hertha Berlin. Let’s see how he will show himself.

Villarreal changed for the better when Unai Emery took the helm. An experienced coach not only changed the game but also won the title. The Yellow Submarine is the current winner of the Europa League Cup. Due to this, the club will represent Spain in the group stage of the Champions League. As for the start of the 2021/2022 season, the Yellows lost to Chelsea in the UEFA Super Cup final, and the games against Granada and Espanyol in the Spanish championship ended in goalless draws.
Most likely, we will not see many goals in the upcoming game. Atlético is experiencing problems in the attack. Carrasco and Suarez are silent for now. Perhaps both players have not yet reached their optimal condition. Felix is injured. That is why Simeone spoke about the desire to buy a striker. Moreover, we all know about the style of the Mattresses. They play reliably on the defensive and usually score one goal or two, which is enough to earn three points. Villarreal has not scored a single goal in the current championship, showing weak production in the attack. Last season we saw two tense and low-scoring head-to-head confrontations. In Madrid, the referee recorded zeros on the scoreboard, and Atletico won away with a 0-2 score. We think that this trend will continue.
Prediction for the match; Under 3.0 goals scored
