Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Real Madrid vs Atletico

Real Madrid

Blancos confidently beat Manchester City in the last round of the Champions League and confirmed their readiness to defend the title of the tournament winner. Real Madrid traditionally performs very well in the main European Cup competition and in the current draw also plans to reach its very late stages. Carlo Ancelotti's team has a very busy and difficult schedule, because the Madrid team is also actively fighting for gold medals in the Spanish championship, so it will be interesting to see how the Italian coach distributes the strength of his charges. Real's top scorers in the current Champions League are Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe, who scored seven goals each.

Atletico

The Mattress Makers have advanced directly to the 1/8 finals of the Champions League, having successfully performed in the main round of the tournament. Diego Simeone's charges have spent much less energy to get through to this round and now they will have to play, perhaps, against the strongest of all possible opponents and certainly the most principled. Like Real, Atletico plans to succeed not only in the Champions League, but also in La Liga, and is still participating in the championship race. In the current Champions League, Antoine Griezmann and Julian Alvarez have scored more than others in the Madrid team, with six goals each.

Game Totals Prediction

This will be the central confrontation of the 1/8 finals of the Champions League, in which old and principled rivals will meet, having played a huge number of matches against each other, including in European Cups. The last three matches between Real and Atletico in La Liga ended in a draw, but in all these games the opponents consistently scored in the opponent's goal. In this case, it makes sense to trust the statistics and bet on "both teams to score" for 1.88.
