Why Bet on Atlético Madrid?
Atlético Madrid was a team that reinforced very well in this market to fight Real Madrid and Barcelona in the Spanish league, after finishing fourth last season, also surpassed by the surprising Girona.
This year, they have brought in Norwegian striker Alexander Sorloth, who starred for Villarreal, and defender Robin Le Normand, who recently won the European Championship with Spain. In addition, several media have already confirmed the signing of world champion Julián Álvarez, and we are simply waiting for the team’s official announcement. He would undoubtedly be a luxury reinforcement for an attacking front that is already very good with Sorloth and Antoine Griezmann. These two players would be the replacements for Alvaro Morata and Memphis Depay.
We must also wait to see what happens with Joao Felix. The Portuguese player returned from his loan at Barcelona, and the club is looking for a way out, but his high cost is an obstacle for many. So, it would not be unreasonable for him to stay, recognizing that he is very talented. In a preseason match against Getafe (3-1), he scored a goal.
Precisely, in these last weeks they drew 1-1 with Numancia and beat them on penalties (5-3), while won against Getafe (3-1) and Kitchee (6-1). The Rojiblancos season will kick off on August 19 at Villarreal.
Why Bet on Juventus?
After a bad season, Juventus wants to fight again with Inter for the Serie A title, especially considering that the difference with the Milan team was wide.
However, they had no major reinforcements in this market. Only Khéphren Thuram and Douglas Luiz, while the arrival of Teun Koopmeiners from Atalanta is still pending. In addition, they suffered the departure of two important players with weight in the locker room, Alex Sandro and Adrien Rabiot, while they sold Moise Kean and Samuel Iling Junior. But that’s not all, several young and promising players who were on loan at different clubs last season were sold, such as Matias Soulé, Dean Huijsen, and Koni De Winter.
The outlook is not very clear for the team that this year will be led by Thiago Motta, a coach who was a sensation last season with Bologna, qualifying them for the next Champions League. The Italian-Brazilian numbers are good, but it remains to be seen if there is enough squad to aspire to important things.
This preseason, they lost to Nurnberg (3-0), drew with Brest (2-2), and beat Juventus Next Gen with goals from Danilo, Timothy Weah, Thuram, and Turkish Kenan Yildiz, a young player from whom much is expected this year.
Final Betting Analysis: Atlético Madrid vs. Juventus
The last time these two teams met was on August 7, 2022, and Atletico Madrid won 4-0 in a friendly with a Morata hat-trick and a goal from Matheus Cunha.
No doubt the coaches will want to see how their team will be performing now that the season starts, but they also don’t want to see them suffer any injuries a week before kickoff. So, it will be a mix of starters and substitutes. Atletico has a better and larger squad that will help them take the win.
