Diego Simeone has only picked up two points in three matches. This year, we're watching what may be the worst Atletico Madrid of recent years. Judging by their results in three matches, this match is risky. They drew with Elche and Alaves and lost to Espanyol. Villarreal is a stronger team on paper than these two. Therefore, this match will be very difficult, but I'm sure the manager, aware of this, will have prepared his players thoroughly.

Atletico Madrid have recorded a slow start to the season picking up just two point out of 9, this form comes as a shock to me however after seeing how many signings they made during the summer transfer window. I expected a better start to the season though but the reality holds a different outcome. Against Villareal would be a tough contest but also an opportunity to revive their start to the season by collecting all three points.

Atletico Madrid has some good signings, but they're only two points behind, and it's astonishing they haven't won yet. If they drop points against Villarreal, they might be in a losing mood. If they win, they might overcome this anxiety. Diego Simeone might forget about past matches and relax about the longer season. It seems the new players haven't yet adapted to the team. This slow start might be a good lesson for Atletico Madrid.
