In their games over the last few years these 2 teams have offered a lot of moments to remember, especially the Champions League final a couple of years ago. Atletico has suffered a 1-2 home defeat from Benfica in its second game for the Champions League group stage but it has created a good tradition against Real, with 4 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat in the last 8 games between the 2 teams.
Under Benitez, Real is playing a very orthological style of game, creating numerous goal scoring chances and converting quite a few of them into goals. However, against Atletico away from home it shouldn’t be considered the favourite to win the game.
I don’t feel that this is a game where a winner can be predicted, but if any I would have placed my money on Atletico to win it due to the difference in the respective odd for the 2 teams.
The safest choice therefore, considering the goal-scoring capacity of both teams;
Prediction: goal/goal & over 2.5 goals, odd: 2.30 @ BET365
