Match Report

Fixture analysis

Villarreal face Atletico Madrid in La Liga on Sun 24 May, 20:00. Because Atletico struggle defensively, failing to keep clean sheets in 7 of their last 9 league games, an open match favours Marcelino's prolific attacking line to secure maximum points. Their recent form has been strangely split between resilience and vulnerability.
