¿Por qué apostar por el Real Madrid?
Real Madrid secured a spot in the final four of the cup, courtesy of a 3-2 success over Leganes, with the team now preparing to head to Man City next week for the first leg of their Champions League playoff fixture at the Etihad Stadium.
Los Blancos cannot afford to take their eye off the ball in LaLiga, though, especially as they were stunned last weekend, losing 1-0 to struggling Espanyol, with the capital giants now only one point clear at the summit.
Real Madrid has not experienced two consecutive matches without scoring since February 2007, during Fabio Capello’s tenure. Following their recent defeat against Espanyol, they could face two straight losses in La Liga for the first time since May 2019, when Zinedine Zidane was the manager.
¿Por qué apostar por el Atlético de Madrid?
Not too many had Atlético as genuine contenders for the LaLiga title this season, but it has been an excellent campaign to date for the Red and Whites, who are through to the knockout round of the Champions League and also in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey.
Simeone’s side thumped Getafe 5-0 on Tuesday night to book a last-four spot in the cup, while they were 2-0 winners over Mallorca last weekend to move onto the 2nd spot on the board.
Atlético is unbeaten in their last four league matches with Real Madrid and have lost just one of their last six, although Simeone’s side have not managed to win a La Liga fixture at Bernabeu since February 2016.
Atleti has the chance to win in its two visit matches to Barcelona and Real Madrid in the same LaLiga season for the fourth time in its history, the first being in the 87/88 season with Luis Menotti as a coach.
