Estadio de la Ceramica takes centre stage tonight as gameweek 16 in LaLiga kicks off with Villarreal vs Atletico Madrid.
Both sides are desperate for the points to end their dismal run of form in light of their respective ambitions. Villarreal have one point from their last five matches, while Atletico have one win in five – but have drawn three times.
Logic would suggest that Atletico are favourites tonight but Diego Simeone’s side have struggled to score goals with just 16 so far this season, as they adjust to life without Antoine Griezmann.
