La Liga 2024-2025: Atletico Madrid-Villarreal, the probable formations

Aletico Madrid-Villarreal, the probable formations

Atletico Madrid-Villarreal puts very important points up for grabs in Spanish La Liga, with the Colchoneros having been overtaken at the top by Real Madrid after the knockout at the Leganes ground and are called upon to resume their run. Not easy, since at the Wanda Metropolitano arrives at 4:15 p.m. Saturday a team that is itself in the hunt for very heavy points for Europe and that on the field of the same Leganes had managed to impose itself with a round 2-5.

At Atletico Madrid, Diego Simeone relies on Alvarez in attack alongside Griezmann. Rodrigo De Paul is in the box, with Barrios completing the median, on the lanes Samuel Lino and Giuliano Simeone, son of Cholo. Four-man defense, with Gimenez-Le Normand in the center, Molina on the right and Reinildo on the left lane.

Villarreal also relies on a traditional 4-4-2, in which the offensive weight will fall; on the shoulders of Moreno and Barry. Midfield full of muscle and brains, with Pino and Gueye in the middle, Parejo and Baena on the flanks. Costa and Foyth in the middle of the defense, Femenia and Cardona on the flanks.
