Why Bet on Real Madrid?
Real Madrid, who will be hosting, has been at the helm of the scoreboard for a little while. They currently boast an eight-point lead over second-placed Barcelona thanks to an impressive record of 22 wins, six draws and a single loss.
They were struggling for the top spot with Girona for three-quarters of the season, but in the last couple of months, the level of the Catalans fell off a cliff. This adds to the fact that they were obliterated by the Casa Blanca in both LaLiga matches.
They have scored 64 goals so far and only taken 20, which lands them at a 44-goal differential. It’s a number that no other team in the league is even remotely close to catching up to.
They have only lost a single match and will be the hosts for this clash, so they should be eager to get to the field.
Why Bet on Athletic Club?
Athletic club is coming in as the 4th placed team, 16 points behind the leaders, with 16 wins, eight draws, and five losses.
The Basques are enjoying constant success as of their latest matches, having landed a two-match win streak for LaLiga. They are solid, have been relentless at home, and seem like a real problem to Atlético Madrid, especially since those from the capital are still alive in European competitions.
However, let’s remember that some qualification spots for the next Champions League will be awarded taking into account “past season average and performance,” so the situation is a little on the air.
Nevertheless, even if they are solid, they have a tremendous task ahead, and anything could happen.
Final Betting Analysis: Real Madrid vs. Athletic Club
We expect both teams to go hard on this clash. Athletic Club because they have no other option if they want points here, and Real Madrid because they respect that their current opponents can’t be underestimated or things will go wrong.
The thing is that the current bar set by the Merengues is way too difficult to catch up to, as they have been on an amazing run this season, and we continue to expect them to follow that path in the next match.
We’ll go for a 3-1 victory for Los Blancos.
Go for a victory for the locals at 1.592. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $59.2 for a total payout of $159.2.
