Villarreal vs Atletico Madrid Betting Tip and Predictions. In the 34th round in the Spanish Primera Division Villarreal take on Atletico Madrid.
Villarreal stand at the 6th position which leads in the qualifications for the UEFA Europa League. Due the bad results in the previous period they lost all chances to reach the place which leads in the qualifications for the UEFA Champions League. To be honest, I’m not sure that they are interested in to play in Europa league, because their recent performance is terrible. In the last 12 matches in all competitions Villarreal have managed to win only one game, while in the last 7 Primera matches they scored one single goal.
Atletico Madrid lost the race for the title, so their main goal is to secure the 3rd position and qualify in the UEFA Champions League directly. The visitors are in the very good form with 5 wins in their last 6 Primera matches (5-1-0).
For their coach Diego Simeone this will be his 200th match in the club. “I hope we can play an important match and continue on the path we’re on” – said Simeone.

Villarreal vs Atletico Madrid betting tip and predictions
Villarreal play very good this season and their performance is one of the best in Primera, but their recent form is really poor. With the many injured players, I don’t believe that they can take all three points against very strong squad from Madrid. Atletico want to secure the Champions league place and I believe that they can take at least one point.
