Atletico Madrid take on the visitors Villarreal in the round 21 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Saturday, January 25th at Metropolitano Stadium (Madrid).
Atletico haven't looked so ready to take a trophy in a long time. The "mattress makers" under Simeone won the Primera title and reached the Champions League final. But last season, the capital club found itself behind Girona, finishing only 4th. This "bell" was not simply heard - in the summer, they seriously reformatted the squad, going for big deals. Fortunately, after a slow start, Cholo-Team gained momentum. Moreover, they began to beat everyone in a row in all tournaments. In Primera, they even managed to take the lead after a strong-willed victory in the match with Barcelona, but there is usually high competition there. In the last round with Leganes, they broke their record winning streak with a shocking defeat. After that, they also managed to play against Bayer in the Champions League. And, early on, they were left with ten men, but they still won.

Villarreal satisfied their long-standing ambitions under Emery - he won the Europa League. And then they reached the semi-finals of the Champions League - only the second time in all this time. It seems that Unai's rather sudden defection to Aston Villa was not a problem, they even rose to 5th place in La Liga. But the previous temporada after that was initially going frankly poorly for a long time. Yes, the return of the once successful Marcelino to the coaching post improved the indicators, but did not save a place in the European Cups: they finished 8th. Now, with the same Garcia Toral as a coach (but at the same time they have noticeably weakened the squad with a number of sales), the "submariners" are trying to rise at least a couple of positions. But after an unexpected exit from the cup after the defeat of Pontevedra, it seems that they have noticeably lost faith in themselves. On the other hand, in the last round they crushed Mallorca 4-0.
Last season, Cholo-Team won both matches with the "yellow submarine". But this year in August it was 2-2 in the lair of the "submariners". The capital club is clearly stronger in this pair. Without inventing anything, we bet on its victory.
Prediction for the match: Atletico Madrid to win.
