Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid Preview

Real Madrid

Real will have to recover quickly following the game in Seville against Betis. Diego Simeone and the boys won’t wait, but they will be very ruthless and use every mistake.

When playing at home, Los Blancos are extremely confident, posting nine wins and a tie across all the competitions. The previous loss was in early November against AC Milan in the UCL, 1-3.

In all the latter matches at Bernabeu, apart from one, Real scored at least twice. That sole game in which Mbappe and Vini failed to deliver multiple goals was against Atletico, 1-1.

Atletico Madrid

We need to say that the Mattress Makers also had a tough game this weekend, hosting Bilbao. Prior to that one, they met Barcelona in Copa del Rey, playing an incredible 4-4 tie in Catalonia. It was a roller coaster event, with Atletico leading the way 0-2, then falling behind before coming back.

This was their ninth contest in a row without a defeat, though four were ties. For the moment, things are going well for Diego Simeone and his crew. They are in contention for all three trophies.

Until late January, Atletico was fantastic on the road, posting nothing but victories, but since losing to Leganes, their results away from Wanda have plummeted. In the past five outings this team has won twice, had two ties and one defeat.

Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid Predictions

This is the first of two legs, and since it is a knockout stage, we believe in a conservative approach coming from both sides. We all know Simeone in situations like these. Ancelotti, too, knows to be defensive-minded and cautious. So our pick here would be under 2.5 goals.

Our verdict: Under 2.5 goals
