Team News

Villarreal
Atletico
  • New signings such as goalkeeper Diego Conde and left-back Sergi Cardona may debut, with Jorgensen sold to Chelsea and Alfonso Pedraza possibly unfit to start. Ayoze Perez and Nicolas Pepe could debut from the bench.
  • Sorloth's exit might offer Danjuma a starting opportunity as Villarreal haven't secured his replacement.
  • Due to uncertainty surrounding Juan Foyth's fitness, Kiko Femenia might start at right-back.
  • Atletico Madrid signed Alvarez, Le Normand, and Sorloth to replace the departed players, Savic and Morata. Atleti has these signings ready for the Villarreal game along with the return of Joao Felix, who could be included in the game.
  • Le Normand and Sorloth could make their debut as starters, while Alvarez might debut from the bench.
  • Atletico hasn't acquired a new left centre-back to replace Hermoso, possibly resulting in Azpilicueta starting in that position.

Prediction

  • Ahead of the upcoming match, Alexander Sorloth finds himself in a unique position facing his former team, Villarreal, following Atletico Madrid's significant investment in the Scandinavian player during the summer transfer window. The Yellow Submarine have experienced a flurry of first-team departures, reflecting a busy period of transition for the club. Meanwhile, Atletico's recent transfer activities have not been limited to Sorloth, with notable acquisitions like Julian Alvarez and Robin Le Normand enhancing the team's depth across various positions.
  • As Atletico Madrid gear up for the new season, the club is focused on narrowing the gap between themselves and the top two teams after a disappointing campaign. With substantial squad changes over the past couple of seasons, including the recent signings, this fixture against Villarreal serves as a crucial test for Atleti's aspirations and ambitions moving forward.
  • Villarreal enter the upcoming clash on the back of a limited pre-season, culminating in a comprehensive 4-0 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion. The recent history between Villarreal and Atletico heavily favours the latter, with Villarreal struggling to secure victories against Atleti in both league encounters and maintaining a poor record in their La Liga fixtures against the Red and Whites.
  • It's probably the best time for Atleti to visit Villarreal given key players have left and they haven't been replaced.
