Honestly I'm pretty surprised by how Villarreal have been showing too much improvement this season and I like how they approach each game without holding back their force to dominate their opponent from the beginning of the game to the end and if they continue this pace I see them finishing in the top 4 this season, although we have other stubborn teams but they can occupy a spot in the top 4.
Playing against a side which has made it a normal thing to always start poor and finishing in a position that's not close to either 2nd or 3rd is nothing new, talking about ATM, they haven't been at their best and since they haven't recorded any win this campaign I believe it will be their first win when they go head to head against Villarreal, is hard to predict ATM to be the winner in any game these days but it has to be, they'll put in everything to secure the 3 point even if it has to do with scoring first and defending till the end, Diego's men will do it.
and you can see it from the 7 points they have accumulated, i am also very surprised by Atletico Bilbao, they are doing really well i must say and this is a great thing, they could be the third wheel given that Atletico Madrid are really struggling to get into the game
If you talk about Bilbao I'd say they have hope more than ATM every season and with no doubt you can see it through their performance. I keep asking myself, is it every season that Atletico Madrid have to struggle? Is becoming a normal thing for them and playing against smaller teams you can't see or should I say they hardly dominate or show that they are among the top 5 teams in the la Liga.
If they go against Villarreal it will be another game to see them struggle if care is not taken [well I'm expecting that] and it pains me to always see them using the same style of play and is clear that other teams have gotten used to how they play that's why is hard to see them defend till the end without conceding.
