Fifteen minutes were enough for Atletico Madrid to score their first goal of the season, playing away from home against Getafe. Atlético was an indigestible visitor and won the match 3-0, adding their first points in LaLiga.
Their next opponent will be Villarreal, who also won their debut game by a score of 3-0 and will visit them at their Wanda Metropolitano stadium, next Sunday, for the second round of the Spanish league.

Why Bet on Atletico Madrid?
Coach Diego Simeone’s team started the Spanish league in the best possible way. Álvaro Morata scored two goals in the team’s debut and helped the Colchoneros start the competition with high expectations; and with great confidence that this can be a magical year for their fans.
Facing a great Villarreal team in the second round means a very big challenge for Atleti, but they know they need this type of game to prove their worth and enter the title contention in the first rounds.
Atletico de Madrid finished the last edition of LaLiga in third place and, because of that, they need to start winning the difficult games so they don’t miss those points at the end of the championship.
Why Bet on Villarreal?
Villarreal also won their debut match by the score of 3-0 even playing away from home. Not all fans imagined such a good start for the yellow submarine team, but this victory gave the team confidence to face Atlético Madrid on an equal footing in the second round of LaLiga.
Some months ago the team had a memorable season, reaching the semi-final stage of the Champions League, losing only to Liverpool in the sum of the two matches. Even with the defeat, the fans were very proud of the team, as they certainly didn’t believe it was possible for Villarreal to go that far in the biggest club competition in the world.
Visiting Atletico Madrid will be a very difficult task for them, but the team is focused on its goals for this season and they understand that it is part of their plans to face bigger teams naturally if they want to be a surprise in the league.
Final Betting Analysis: Atletico Madrid vs. Villarreal
Atletico Madrid and Villarreal will make the game of the round, as this confrontation shows who is more prepared to follow Real Madrid and Barcelona path’s towards the title. Getting in the fight with these two giant teams requires lots of concentration and almost zero points loss.
For this match, we believe in another win for Atletico Madrid: 1-0.
