Stats for this game
Matchup Atletico Madrid VS Villarreal
Atletico have the broader platform
Atletico Madrid have generally collected the stronger results, especially when their home control produces a clean result. They won 3–0 at home on 15 January 2012 and 2–0 there on 24 February 2019, while a 2–0 away win at Villarreal on 28 February 2021 showed that their edge can travel. Atletico also won 3–1 at home on 12 November 2023.
Villarreal keep the balance alive
Villarreal have repeatedly supplied serious counterweights: a 3–0 home win on 12 December 2016, a 2–0 away success on 21 August 2022, and a 5–1 home victory on 24 May 2026. The sides also drew 2–2 at Villarreal on 9 January 2022 and 2–2 in Madrid on 23 August 2026. Those results make the fixture more than a simple hierarchy, because Villarreal can overturn expectations and draw Atletico into a close contest. Future meetings can test whether Atletico restore control or Villarreal extend their capacity to unsettle the balance.
