Can Atleti Leave Rivals’ Home with a Positive Result?

Real Madrid are top of La Liga, just one point above their capital rivals. Los Blancos have picked up 15 wins and scored 50 goals, but only four points separates the top three after Real’s loss at Espanyol last weekend.

Atletico Madrid recently went on a stunning eight-game winning run in La Liga before losing to Leganes and drawing with Villarreal. However, Diego Simone’s men bounced back with three points last weekend, beating Mallorca 2-0 at home.

Real’s heavy 4-0 loss to rivals Barcelona in October remains their only home league reverse of the campaign. Only Atleti have picked up more home points than Merengues in Spain’s top tier this term.  

Rojiblancos have won 50% of their away matches in La Liga. Simeone’s side have suffered two away league losses and won 12 times on their travels in all competitions.

The neighbours played out a 1-1 draw in September at the Metropolitano. Eder Militao opened the scoring for the away side in the 64th minute, but Angel Correa’s injury-time effort earned Atleti a share of the spoils.  

Real took just one point from the two league meetings last term. Atleti picked up a point at the Santiago Bernabeu and a 3-1 win at the Metropolitano.  

Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid Betting Tips & Predictions

The Madrid derby is always a tough one to call, and this one could go either way. The title challengers are separated by a single point, and we can see the two cancelling each other out in the capital.

Check out the tempting odds of 4.60 for the draw and both teams to score. There is also great value in 2.04 for under 2.5 goals to be scored.
