Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid – Forecasts, stats, and betting advice

Diego Simeone’s team has been conceding frequently, which should result in a more open Madrid derby than usual this weekend

On Sunday evening, Real Madrid will host Atletico Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu in a Madrid derby that might have a significant influence on the Liga title race. Carlo Ancelotti’s team started the weekend eight points ahead at the top of the table, and a victory against their cross-city rivals would put them in even better shape.
A win for Diego Simeone’s men, on the other hand, would bring them within seven points of their opponents, and with a game in hand, the championship race would stay very much alive.

Atletico Madrid vs. Real Madrid current odds

The hosts are undefeated at home in La Liga since the end of January, with a nine-match winning run in all competitions. Real Madrid is available at 21/20 (2.05) with bet365, while Atletico is available at 13/5 (3.60) and the draw is available at 5/2 (3.50).

Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid: Who Scored First?

There are concerns about the health of both Karim Benzema and Luis Suarez, but the respective teams’ two number nines continue to lead the way in the first goal scorers market. The Uruguayan is listed at 6/1 (7.00) to break the deadlock, as he did in their most recent encounter in March at the Wanda Metropolitano, while Benzema is priced at 7/2. (4.50).
Elsewhere, Vinicius Junior is available at 7/1 (8.00), while Antoine Griezmann is available at 8/1. (9.00). Casemiro started the score the last time Real Madrid met their rivals in December 2020, and the Brazilian is available at 22/1. (23.00).

Preview of Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid

Typically, these matches are close affairs with few goals and a lot of intensity, but this weekend’s Madrid derby might be different. Atletico Madrid has prided themselves in previous years on being a rock-solid defensive team, a characteristic that has plainly left them this season. Los Rojiblancos have only preserved three clean sheets in their previous 15 competitive games, and they appear poised to struggle once again against the division’s top offensive team.
Naturally, much will depend on whether Benzema is able to play, but even without the striker, Real Madrid has won their previous two games against difficult opponents in Real Sociedad and Inter.

Predictions and suggestions for Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid

Over 2.5 goals has paid off in eight of Atletico Madrid’s previous 11 games and is available at 10/11 (1.91) while supporting Real Madrid to score over 1.5 goals at 11/10 (2.10) might also be an appealing choice.
