Where Can I Watch it?
Why Bet on Real Madrid?
Betting on Real Madrid is always a good choice. The most-winning football team in the world surprised again last week, beating Liverpool away from home by 5-2, in a game valid for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League.
For the national championship, however, Real Madrid is still trying to reduce the distance of points to rival Barcelona, which has led LaLiga since the beginning of the year. The difference of 8 points between the rivals could be decisive in securing Barcelona’s title at the end of the season if they continue to win their games.
Vinícius Júnior and Benzema are Real Madrid’s offensive highlights in the last few matches, but Modric and Kroos control the team’s midfield actions.
Beating the tough Atlético Madrid team will be a good challenge for this team that is used to playing difficult games.
Why Bet on Atlético Madrid?
Coach Diego Simeone’s team has sought to reinvent itself every year, trying to improve its offensive repertoire, in order not to always depend on counterattack plays – the team’s specialty.
However, facing such a powerful opponent, maybe Atlético needs to return to playing in a more defensive and combative way, as it has done for years, to stop the threats of Vinicius Júnior, Rodrygo, and Benzema.
Atlético beat Celta de Vigo and Bilbao in the last two rounds and have now gone five games without losing, placed in 4th place in the table. Los Colchoneros lose many easy games in the first round, against smaller teams, and now finds itself very far from the leader Barcelona.
Final Betting Analysis: Real vs. Atlético
Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid will face off at the legendary Santiago Bernabeu, one of the biggest stages in world football. Playing at home, Real Madrid’s favoritism increases much more, despite Atlético being a difficult team to beat in games that involve a lot of rivalry – like this one.
We believe, therefore, in the victory of Real Madrid.
If you put $100 into Real Madrid’s win, you could get $81 back for a total payout of $181.
