Why Bet on Real Madrid?
Excluding their match tomorrow against a team in the middle of the table like Getafe, Real Madrid comes at an excellent pace with five wins in its last five games. They also dominantly defeated Barca in the final of the Super Copa de España. The only stain in an otherwise brilliant start of the year is the loss against Atleti in the Copa del Rey. Now they face this rival (the third time in the last few weeks, counting all competitions) wanting revenge.
This great level passes through a deadly midfield diamond that has Bellingham and Tchouaméni as anchors, with Valverde, Kross, and Ceballos rotating at the “wings.” Solidity has been a cornerstone for a team that doesn’t count with an exceptional center forward for the first time in many years.
Why Bet on Atlético Madrid?
Atleti has the team and the goals to challenge for the title, but they seem unable to get enough wins in a row to achieve that level. In the last five matches, excluding their current contest against bottom-dwelling Rayo, they have three wins, one loss, and a draw. Precisely, that loss was against Girona, in a game where the defense crumbled like wet bread.
Now they have a new chance to get closer to the top, but beating ‘Los Blancos’ at their home is easier said than done. Undoubtedly, a defeat here would mean a goodbye to their aspirations.
Their good moments of football pass through the feet of the deadly attacking duo of Morata and Griezmann. The forwards have 24 goals between the two in LaLiga, apart from sharing a good number of collaborations.
Final Betting Analysis: Atlético Madrid vs. Real Madrid
In the last 49 matches, Real Madrid won on 22 occasions, while Atlético Madrid got 13 triumphs, and 15 games ended in a draw. This season, they have faced three times in all competitions, with Atleti imposing in two games (both at home). What has characterized this clash recently is the crazy amount of goals, with 18 in these last three duels.
The ‘Colchoneros’ new and more aggressive approach to the game is a guarantee of goals, at both ends. We believe the trend will continue, as Real Madrid has not been capable of fully containing them recently. However, in the end, the White House will triumph 3-2.
Go for a victory for the locals at 1.76. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $76 for a total payout of $176.
