The standout feature is the remarkable 4-4 draw against Real Madrid, highlighting their ability to compete with top teams. Their last six home games have seen an impressive average of 3.83 total goals per match, with 83% of these games featuring over 2.5 goals. Villarreal's attacking prowess is evident, scoring 2.17 goals per game, but their defense has been somewhat leaky, conceding 1.67 goals per game. Despite this, they managed two clean sheets in this period. The team's form has been a mix of wins, draws, and losses, without any significant winning or losing streaks, demonstrating the competitive nature of their home performances.
Atlético de Madrid

Their offensive prowess is evident, scoring an average of 2.5 goals per game and netting a total of 15 goals in their last six away matches. Defensively, they've been solid, conceding only 0.67 goals per game and keeping three clean sheets. The team's goal difference of +11 is remarkable, highlighting their dominance on the road.
