Atletico Madrid vs. Real Madrid Preview

Atletico Madrid

The Mattress Makers experienced an unpleasant loss in Valencia last Saturday, with the Bats triumphing 3-0. After several extremely confident performances, this was a little bit of a shock to all the fans and pundits.

Previously, Atletico was better than Granada at home, 3-1, then played 0-0 on the road against Betis before humiliating Rayo Vallecano also away from home, 0-7. The contest vs. Real is the first at Wanda, following three consecutive at other venues.

Unlike in the past, Atletico’s games are efficient, with three of four ending Over 2.5 hits. Simeone’s playstyle has changed, and he is more oriented towards offense.

Real Madrid

Ancelotti’s crew plays excellently, yet they aren’t under the spotlight because they don’t post some flashy victories, and simply don’t attract too much attention. The way the game against Real Sociedad began, many believed that Los Blacons wouldn’t survive, but as time went by, they routinely flipped the score.

This was the fifth straight triumph for Real Madrid, who already beat Athletic Bilbao, Almeria, Celta Vigo, and Getafe. In all but one event, the one vs. Celta in Vigo, we’ve seen them net twice or more.

The fantastic midfield is Real’s biggest weapon, with them having world-class players in each position. That part of the unit is fantastic in both offense and defense, and is the heart of the crew.
