Why Bet on Atletico Madrid?

After their match today, the locals come with four wins and three draws, looking to build up the pace before the Sunday Clash.

They have proven to be a tough team to beat in the opening stages of the 2024-25 season, although the offense is producing less than expected considering the expending.

Even if they are one of three teams yet to lose in LaLiga this season, Atletico will be frustrated to have dropped points in three games. Particularly, in a goalless affair against Espanyol and Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Rayo Vallecano.

Diego Simeone was desperate for his team to avoid any slip-ups as the team built momentum on today’s clash against Celta Vigo ahead of Sunday’s highly-anticipated derby. They were centered on defending well, and the goal came at the very end.

Let’s remember that Real Madrid only lost two games in all competitions last season, both at the Civitas Metropolitano. The locals would want to repeat the warm welcome to their ground.

Why Bet on Real Madrid?

The second-placed team enjoyed five victories and two draws, a score which has put them four points behind the current leaders in LaLiga, Barcelona. However, they are also separating from the teams behind them.

Real Madrid held its first training session to prepare for the derby against Atlético Madrid, featuring a significant update: French midfielder Eduardo Camavinga participated in part of the group training.

So far, the international Frenchman had only been working separately from the rest of the squad following a knee sprain he sustained in the training session before the UEFA Super Cup match against Atalanta.

In contrast, his compatriot Kylian Mbappé had to leave the last match against Alavés prematurely due to a muscle injury in the biceps femoris of his left leg. It is expected to keep him sidelined for approximately three weeks.

Final Betting Analysis: Atletico Madrid vs. Real Madrid

The Madrid derby is always a fiercely competitive fixture, and despite the absence of Kylian Mbappé, Real Madrid’s depth and current form could give them the upper hand.

Atlético, with their disciplined defensive structure, will make life difficult for their rivals, and Ancelotti’s side has already slipped in this ground on the recent pass.

The Clásico Madrileño keeps favoring heavily the Merengues, but, at least, the Colchoneros have made their ground a stronghold in recent times, so we’ll go for a tie. Bet on a 2-2.

Go for a draw at 3.58. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $258 for a total payout of $358.
