The concluding game of the LaLiga season takes place this Sunday in a fight for third place, which sees Villarreal and Atletico Madrid, tied on points, meet at the vibrant Estadio de la Ceramica. A player to keep your eye on is Villarreal top-scorer Georges Mikautadze, who to find the net in the final game is looking like a good route for a few reasons.
Rested last time out, it’s looking likely that the Georgian will start this big game. Mikautadze has tons of confidence, typically performs well against the top teams, and gets a lot more shots off in front of a home crowd. Plus, he’s not travelling to the World Cup this summer, so he has no reason to save himself and will be happy to be of service as normal.
The hosts did fail to score last time out, but they are significantly better in grabbing goals at home, where they average 2.39 goals per game. El Submarino Amarillo have scored more than one goal in all of their last seven home matches, as well as scoring multiple goals here against Celta Vigo, Betis and Getafe.

Our Villarreal vs Atletico Madrid Prediction
Mikautadze is the best by far in terms of xG for Villarreal, primarily thanks to home matches, where he averages 0.81 xG per game. Again, he excels in home games, with all of his last four goals coming at home, and three goals in his last two starts. What’s more, each time he’s started in Villarreal’s home matches against the LaLiga top seven, he’s produced multiple goal attempts, as well as netting against Getafe.
Whilst his recent away performances aren’t convincing, if we solely look at his home efforts, he’s hard to ignore, with 23 shots taken in his last eight, putting away five. Aware that he doesn’t need to save himself for the World Cup, we can expect Mikautadze to not hold back in their final home game of the season.
Our Villarreal vs Atletico Madrid Pick: Georges Mikautadze to Score.
