Villarreal vs Atletico Madrid Betting Tips: BTTS / Atletico to Score 2+

Atletico Madrid begin their La Liga campaign in high spirits after a strong run of form in pre-season saw them claim victories in each of four friendly fixtures. Diego Simeone′s men picked up a 2:0 win against Juventus in their most recent runout last weekend.

Contrastingly, Villarreal returns to competitive action winless in their last three friendly fixtures, including a heavy 4:0 defeat against Brighton. The Yellow Submarine also slipped to a 3:1 loss against French side Saint Etienne in a less than inspiring pre-season campaign.

Villrreal did enjoy a strong run of form in home matches towards the end of last season. Marcelino′s men lost just one of their last ten matches at Estadio de la Cerámica - a 2:1 defeat against Atletico in April. 

The Yellow Submarine are usually a reliable goal for goal chasers, particularly in home fixtures. Villarreal have seen BTTS in 20 of their last 25 home league matches. An average of 3.72 goals were scored across those contests.

Atletico Madrid did struggle in away fixtures last season, although they did manage to find some towards the end of the campaign. After winning just four of their first 14 away matches, Simeone′s men picked up victory in four of their final five away league encounters. 

Recent encounters between these sides have proven entertaining with five of their last six meetings seeing BTTS and over 2.5 goals scored. Atletico managed to score a minimum of two goals in six of their last seven encounters, and I expect something similar on Monday.

BTTS should prove a reliable choice considering recent stats and past meetings, while Atletico′s strong pre-season suggests they should be capable of scoring at least twice against a still shaky Villarreal rearguard.
