Team News

Villarreal
Atletico
  • Both Alberto Moreno and Kiko Femenia are suspended for this one, leaving Marcelino short on Monday evening for full-back choices.
  • Bertrand Traore could well start his fifth game in a row for Villarreal since joining from Aston Villa in January.
  • Both Eric Bailly and Raul Albiol are injured, leaving a thin line of selection in central defence for the hosts.
  • Both Rodrigo De Paul and Nahuel Molina are suspended for this one - Molina received a straight red against Barcelona whilst De Paul picked up his final yellow card before automatic suspension.
  • Saul Niguez and Rodrigo Riquelme should fill in for Diego Simeone.

Prediction

  • Villarreal welcome Atletico Madrid to the south coast, aiming to seek revenge for the 3-1 loss they suffered in the capital back in November. Atleti are on 55 points and could leapfrog Athletic Club if they were to lose to Real and if Atleti can defeat their hosts on Monday.
  • Atletico Madrid havent kept a clean sheet in seven attempts, and are notoriously poorer on the road than they are at the Civitas fortress. They have dropped points on the road this season to the likes of Cadiz, Almeria, Sevilla and Las Palmas. Villarreal can overtake Valencia in eighth with a victory - a fantastic return to form from a side that was four points from the drop zone when Marcelino took over.
  • A draw is the most likely outcome for this one...
