LaLiga debut time for Los Colchoneros new signing Julián Alvarez.
The last season was average for Villarreal as the team finished 8th in the LaLiga standings. They had a poor pre-season campaign where they were not able to perform as per expectations. The Yellow Submarine will undoubtedly have their eyes on a European spot this term.
They have managed to boost their squad with the signings of new players. Last season Villarreal lost both league games against Atletico Madrid. This time they will look to beat them and get all three points.
Atletico Madrid are unbeaten away from home against Villarreal since March 2018. Diego Simeone’s side finished fourth in LaLiga last season. They will look to compete for the league title this season as they have got a really good squad on which El Cholo can rely.
Los Colchoneros were impressive in pre-season. They will look to beat a tough Villarreal side on their home ground.

Players to Watch
Gerard Moreno (Villarreal)
Gerard Moreno is an intriguing mix between centre forward and inverted right winger, providing invaluable flexibility for his manager. However, his greatest strength is cutting inside onto his left foot and taking shots. He is also very adept with his weaker right foot.
He also has a decent amount of pace, making him a lethal player in counterattacks. Moreno also has a good work ethic and is a good presser when he is without the ball.
Julian Alvarez (Atletico Madrid)
Julian Alvarez is a versatile player who can play at multiple attacking positions. The former Man City player can also play as a number 9 or as a second striker. He is happy to drop between the lines to create for others as well.
Alvarez is constantly on the lookout for space to offer a vertical passing option to his midfield teammates. He is very clinical in the penalty area, plus, his off movement is very special. The Argentine possesses an excellent understanding of how to attack the space behind the opposing back line.
