Antoine Griezmann may be Atletico Madrid's top goalscorer this season, finding the back of the net 15 times. However, he faces Villarreal on Sunday, a team in which he has not managed to score a single goal against in the 15 games he has played against them.

The Frenchman never scored against Villarreal during his time at Real Sociedad and, at the moment, has not done so during his career at Atletico.

15 times Griezmann has faced the La Liga outfit and 15 times he has come away empty-handed. Something he will be hoping to change on Sunday...

However, he will have to overcome his poor record against the 'Submarino Amarillo' to secure all three points. During those 15 meetings, seven have ended in defeat, five have been draws so the striker has only experienced winning on three occasions.

Nonetheless, Griezmann comes into Sunday's match in some of the richest form of his life. 'El Principito' has been unstoppable this season, scoring 16 goals in La Liga and adding another six in the Copa del Rey and Europe

His last of which, against Lokomotiv Moscow in Europa, was pure magic. One of the best goals of his career.

Now though he must direct that form in tearing apart a Villarreal side who are currently sixth in the table, fighting Sevilla to be the best-of-the-rest outside the dominant top four. A side he is yet to score against, but whose luck could change any day.
