Atlético de Madrid vs Real Madrid Predictions

We think that this match will be very defensive from Atleti, as we have seen in all their matches, and knowing the importance of this game we think that Simeone’s system will be even more that usual, so it will be so difficult for Madrid to get many chances to score. We think that there will be under 2.5 total match goals.

As for the winner, we think that Atleti will try to defend all the match and Madrid will have the ball possession but it will be too difficult for them to break the defensive wall of Atleti. We think this match could end in a draw.
