Prediction: 1-2
Atletico Madrid
Monday’s football game between Villarreal and Atletico Madrid will bring down the curtain on the La Liga round 30. The Yellows are eyeing their fifth consecutive league win, but they will have a big fish to fry against Diego Simeone’s troops. The hosts, though, head into the match with a severely-weakened squad, with all Alberto Moreno (suspension), Kiko Femenia (suspension), Eric Bailly (phy discomfort), Alfonso Pedraza (ankle injury), Ramon Terrats (meniscus injury), Juan Foyth (thigh injury), and Denis Suarez (hamstring injury) missing out.
Los Rojiblancos, on the other hand, will be without suspended duo Nahuel Molina – Rodrigo De Paul in Monday’s showdown, but seeing that Diego Simeone still has a number of high-profile players to choose from, away win should be considered. France forward Antoine Griezmann remains on the sidelines with injury, alongside Thomas Lemar, Jose Gimenez, and Mario Hermoso. In the first half of the season Atletico Madrid defeated Villarreal 3-1.
Highlighted Player (Antoine Griezmann):
Anthony Griezmann is a French forward born on 21st March 1991 in Macon, and he is widely regarded as one of Europe’s most exciting footballers at the moment. The pacey striker started showing his potential shortly after coming through Real Sociedad’s youth academy and he went on to score 46 goals in 179 league appearances for La Real. Excellent displays in Spanish la Liga saw him become a target for a number of top clubs, but he eventually choose to sign for Atletico Madrid, and that proved to be a very good decision.
Griezmann continued the rich vein of form at Vicente Calderon, scoring some important goals as los Colchoneros enjoyed domestic and European success, while also becoming a key member of the France national team.
Playing as a winger or second striker, Griezmann possesses impressive technical skills, he is a strong finisher and still finds time to work hard for his side, so no wonder he is widely regarded as one of the leading forwards on the continent. He won the U19 European Championship with France and is tipped to lead Les Bleus to glory on senior level as well.
Highlighted Team (Villarreal):
Villarreal CF was founded on 10th of March 1923. In the year 1998 Villarreal managed to reach the Primera Division for the first time in history of the club.
