Top 2 Atletico Madrid vs Villarreal Bets for Jan 25

1. Atletico Madrid to Win (-145)

Atletico Madrid faced off against Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday in a battle of two of the most in-form teams in Europe: Leverkusen had won each of their last 11 matches, whilst Atleti – with the exception of their defeat to Leganés last weekend – had won their last 15. Despite falling to 10 men in the 25th minute and conceding the opening goal before halftime, Atleti prevailed with a 2-1 win courtesy of a Julian Alvarez brace.

The Argentine forward has been in sensational form as of late with four goals in his last four matches, and there’s reason to believe that he’ll come up clutch and lead Atleti to victory against Villarreal. Atleti find themselves in stellar form thanks to a league-best defense that has let in a mere 13 goals in 20 league matches, in stark contrast to a Villarreal side that has conceded 31 goals thus far.

Once a backup to Erling Haaland at Manchester City, Alvarez is now emerging as an attacking protagonist for Atleti. Whilst Atleti’s defensive superiority should give them the platform for victory, expect Alvarez’s goals to come in handy and guide them to another win in your La Liga betting picks.

Bet This Pick: Atletico to Win (-145)

2. Both Teams to Score (-170)

The last time these two sides faced off in August, Atleti was held to a 2-2 draw at Villarreal. It was the fourth meeting in seven between these two that ended in a 2-2 draw, and it was also the fourth straight encounter that saw both teams score and the fourth straight encounter that featured over 2.5 goals.

Villarreal hasn’t exactly been taking Spanish football by storm – in fact, since the November international break, they’ve drawn three matches, lost four, and won just twice. They’ve conceded the opening goal in six of their last seven matches, and yet, they sit fifth in the La Liga table thanks to an impressive attacking output that has scored 38 goals – second only to Real Madrid and Barcelona. Whilst they may be leaking goals at the moment, they shouldn’t have an issue scoring for the fifth time in six matches.

Six of the last seven encounters between these two have seen both teams score – we’re backing that trend to continue in our soccer expert picks.
