- 马德里竞技队仍在寻找本赛季的首场胜利
- 比利亚雷亚尔在九场比赛中保持不败，在那场比赛中赢了八场
- 黄色潜水艇在过去的六场客场比赛中赢了四场，在前往巴塞罗那和皇家贝蒂斯的比赛中获得了三分
比利亚雷亚尔争分夺秒，加剧了境况不佳的马德里竞技队的痛苦
巴塞罗那和皇家马德里可能会在本赛季的大部分时间里卷入一场激烈的冠军争夺战，但这甚至可能不是本赛季西甲最激动人心的比赛，毕尔巴鄂竞技队和比利亚雷亚尔队肯定会让马竞队在第三名的位置上大获全胜。
这三名最有希望的球员中有两名将在周六的首都迎战比利亚雷亚尔，而黄色潜水艇本赛季的出色开局将在马德里继续。
上一次在维戈塞尔塔，伊格莱西亚斯队在第94分钟的一记进球让马塞利诺的球队全部得三分，但他们在前两场比赛中以2比0轻松击败了皇家奥维耶多队，以5比0击败了赫罗纳队。
新签约的塔琼·布坎南和阿尔贝托·莫莱罗确保了比利亚雷亚尔不会太想念马竞的新球员亚历克斯·贝纳，他们看起来将在周六击败他们的前球员。
黄色潜艇不太可能在马德里沉没
马竞本赛季糟糕的开局始于2比1负于西班牙人队，并继续与保级候选人埃尔切和阿拉维斯战平，这表明本周末胜利的价格应该很容易改变。
迭戈·西蒙尼的球队一直在努力前进，鉴于他们的大多数关键球员都在国家队效力，国际比赛日不太可能有任何帮助。
坚持形式指导，回到比利亚雷亚尔，他很可能也会把马德里队挤到第三位。尽管考虑到上学期的两场会议都达到了水平，保持平局是值得的。
- Atletico Madrid are still searching for a first win of the season
- Villarreal are unbeaten in nine games, winning eight times in that run
- The Yellow Submarine have won four of their last six away games, taking three points from trips to Barcelona and Real Betis in that sequence
Villarreal vying to add to ailing Atleti’s misery
Barcelona and Real Madrid are likely to be embroiled in a tight title race for the majority of the season, but that may not even be the most exciting battle in La Liga this term, with Athletic Bilbao and Villarreal sure to give Atletico Madrid a run for their money to finish third.
Two of those top-three hopefuls will face off in the capital on Saturday when Atleti host Villarreal and there is a big price available for the Yellow Submarine’s excellent start to the season to continue in Madrid.
A 94th-minute Borja Iglesias strike cost Marcelino’s men all three points at Celta Vigo last time but they comfortably beat Real Oviedo 2-0 and routed Girona 5-0 in their first two games.
New signings Tajon Buchanan and Alberto Moleiro have ensured Villarreal are not missing Atletico new boy Alex Baena too much and they look set to get one over their former player on Saturday.
Yellow Submarine unlikely to be sunk in Madrid
Atletico’s woeful start to the season began with a 2-1 defeat at Espanyol and continued with draws against relegation candidates Elche and Alaves, suggesting an odds-on price for victory this weekend should be readily swerved.
Diego Simeone’s side have struggled to get going and the international break is unlikely to have helped at all given most of their key men were away with their national sides.
Stick with the form guide and back Villarreal, who may very well pip Atleti to third, too. Although it could pay to keep the draw on side given both meetings last term finished level.
