Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid Preview

Real Madrid

Los Blancos lost to Espanyol on the road in their last appearance, 1-0. Some controversial officiating calls hurt Real, but knowing how many times the officials have helped Real, this isn’t something to talk about too much.

Carlo Ancelotti’s unit won eight of the past 10 games, losing the remaining two. Both were against teams from Barcelona, Espanyol, and FC Barcelona.

Nine of those 10 events have seen at least three goals. Also, just once during this span, Real couldn’t score twice or more. Six times in the previous nine games at Bernabeu, we saw the hosts netting at least three times.

Atletico Madrid

The Mattress Makers also have eight triumphs in the latest 10 games across all the competitions. There was one loss and one tie along with these results. At the moment, the team from Wanda Metropolitan hasn’t lost for the past four in a row, winning three contests.

Atletico’s road form is fantastic, with them winning in nine of the previous 11 outings. In six of them, Diego Simeone’s crew has kept a clean sheet, and it seems that they regained their rock-solid defense after a slightly looser start to the season.

The Reds-and-whites have the best defense in La Liga, allowing just 14 goals. Once more, Simeone created a team that moves and breathes as one, which is why Atletico has a solid chance of winning the title.

Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid Prediction

This game could define the season and affect the final standings. Even though Real plays at home, be sure that Ancelotti won’t be as open and aggressive as usual. Simeone’s tactics are already known, and the Argentinian always uses a conservative approach in important matches. Because of this, we suggest betting on a moderate efficiency in this event, two or three goals at maximum. We have one long shot here as well, and that would be a red card during the match. Each time these teams play, things become intense.

Our verdict: 2 or 3 goals
