Atletico continue to string together an excellent run of form, both in La Liga and the Champions League, with Diego Simeone’s side also selling out Estadio Vicente Calderon regularly.

Atletico vs Villarreal Predictions and Betting Advice

Sime Vrsaljko and Juanfran are both out injured at right-back for the home side, but Jose Maria Gimenez deputized there in solid fashion versus Espanyol last week.

Given that Atletico are soon to be moving stadium, anything other than a home victory at Estadio Vicente Calderon is hard to imagine. Villarreal will have it tough.
