Villarreal CF – Atlético Madrid
Atlético Madrid, currently third in La Liga, are just one point behind Real and face fifth in the table on the final day of La Liga. The yellow submarine will surely finish the season in 5th place. Therefore, it is all about a conciliatory end to the season for them in front of their home crowd, while the Colchoneros are determined to still overtake their city neighbours Real on the finish line.

Villarreal Form & Balance Check
Although there is still one matchday to go and three points to be awarded, Villarreal already know their final position in the table. The Yellow Submarine will not move away from 5th place, which is tantamount to qualifying for the Europa League. You could expect the top three places to be taken by the usual trio (Barca, Real, Atlético) – Real Sociedad just edged ahead to grab the final ticket to the top flight.
Europa League is safe
Villarreal are finishing the season pretty well and could have been dreaming of a top-4 finish until the last matchday, but were surprised away from home by Rayo Vallecano last weekend. That defeat allowed Sociedad to lock up the Champions League. All Villarreal can do now is give their fans a great last game.

Atletico form & balance check
In their battle with neighbours Real for second place behind Barca, Atlético Madrid have dropped a lot of points recently in games that were thought to be safe. This is particularly frustrating given the form of their attack in the second half of the season, but they have been too sloppy with their chances.
Failure to convert chances
But efficiency isn’t everything, and at times the foundation of what has made Atletico so strong in recent years has been lacking, namely defence. The most obvious example is the draw away at Espanyol Barcelona ten days ago (3-3), when Griezmann and Co. led 0-3 in the 46th minute but ended up sharing the points.

- In 3rd place in LaLiga
- Last three games unbeaten
- Second best defence with 31 goals conceded
