Match preview

Atlético Madrid host Villarreal in the La Liga on 23 August 2026. Atlético Madrid sit 2nd on 25 points and Villarreal are 11th on 11. Atlético Madrid have won 3 of their last 5 (WLWWL), while Villarreal have won 2 of 5 (WDLLW). In their last 2 meetings, Atlético Madrid won 1, Villarreal won 1 and 0 ended level. These are probabilities from past results, not guarantees: football upsets happen every week.

How this is worked out

Each club has an Elo rating that moves after every result (bigger wins move it more, home sides get a small boost). We turn the rating gap into expected goals and use a Poisson model to get win, draw and loss chances. The prediction is locked at kick-off and never edited.

Probabilities, not promises. For analysis and entertainment only. 18+.
