Villarreal vs Atletico Madrid Prediction 1 April 2024
Villarreal take on the visitors Atletico Madrid in the round 30 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Monday, April 1st at Estadio de la Ceramica (Villarreal).
Villarreal will focus on trying to improve their position in La Liga. The Yellow Submarine reached their first significant trophy a few years ago by winning the Europa League. And then, a year later, the Spaniards repeated their long-standing highest achievement in the Champions League, reaching the semi-finals. All of this, however, was under Emery, but Unai himself returned to England in the fall of the previous year and is now creating sensations with Aston Villa. Setién seemed to replace him decently, and even rose with his team to 5th place in La Liga in the spring. But after the summer break, the submarines looked terrible, and Kike was quickly sacked. However, even this didn't help, and only after another coaching reshuffle and Marcelino's return did things start to improve in the last few rounds: they haven't lost since January, winning all 4 recent matches – but still only managed to rise to 9th place so far. And in the Europa League, it practically ended in the very first match against Marseille, when they lost 0-4. Yes, they slammed the door, winning 3-1 at home, but now they can fully focus on the battle in La Liga, where there are still chances to rise to the European spots.

Atletico managed to confirm that their mental and willpower indicators, so characteristic of Diego Simeone, haven't disappeared anywhere. In the Champions League, the Spaniards, after winning their group, faced Inter in the round of 16 and lost 0-1 to the 2023 finalists in Milan. But at home, they managed to pressure the Italians who were defending and won 2-1 in the end, thanks to Depay's efforts. And then, not conceding in extra time, Cholo's Team won the penalty shootout thanks to Oblak's efforts. Now, in April, they are playing in the quarter-finals, and this is the only step to salvage the season. And there's something to redeem themselves for in front of the fans. In Saudi Arabia this winter, they lost to Real and were eliminated from the Super Cup after the very first match, and by spring, they lost twice in a row in the Copa del Rey semi-finals to Athletic Bilbao. By the way, in La Liga, losing both recent matches, the capital club specifically conceded to the Basques for 4th place. A spot in the next Champions League is at stake, so the fight against the principal opponent will go on fiercely until the last round.
In previous seasons, there were 3 draws and a victory for the Yellow Submarine. But in this championship, the mattress makers managed to win, and by a score of 3-1. The odds show a significant advantage for Los Colchoneros. Let's agree, the capital club is maximally motivated – we believe in Simeone and his players' victory.
The Mattress Makers must now give it their all in every match.
Prediction for the match: Atletico Madrid to win.
