Atletico Madrid should be able to win against Villarreal. Although this certainly won't be easy, because Vllarreal is also a pretty strong club. Indeed, even though Atletico Madrid are sometimes quite disappointing, the hope here is that they win.
Even though Villareal are ranked below them, it is not a guarantee that they will be able to win this match. However, Villareal is a team that cannot be underestimated.
Of course, because of that, Atletico Madrid must make even more optimal efforts. Because their position is also quite crucial this time and they need to win. So, it's not the time for Atletico Madrid to be unable to optimize game results. Although this certainly won't be that easy because Villarreal will be quite troublesome, however, Simeone must develop tactics that best suit their future performance. Anyway, for the next match, Molina is still subject to red card sanctions, so like it or not, Simeone has to design a strategy that is more appropriate to the existing squad.
In addition, for the next match, Atletico Madrid's opponent is also Girona, which is quite a tough opponent. They have lost in previous matches, so it is quite risky if they are not able to get full points again.
