Barcelona - Atletico Madrid

Villarreal looks very solid, with interesting players up front and plenty of creativity. They create many opportunities, although sometimes they focus too much on attacking and leave themselves vulnerable in defense. However, they are still favorable overall. Athletic Bilbao struggles, even against weaker opponents. The visitors are determined to fight for Peru. On paper, Athletic looks good, but will they be able to hold up against such opponents?

Two different season starts meet, Atl Madrid's first 3 games ended with 1 loss and 2 draws, while Villarreal's first 3 games ended with 2 wins and 1 draw. Simeoni's team has already shown that their defense is not as strong as it used to be and the further into the season, the more they tend to lean towards over games. Villarreal has a strong team and are waiting for UEFA CL, but at the same time they will cause problems in the league, and knowing how Atl Madrid plays, I think it's a perfect time to play against them. Of course, Atl may be highly motivated to start the season, but it's hard to imagine how they can withstand Villarreal without conceding a goal.
