Real Madrid vs Atl. Madrid Prediction & Betting tips
On Tuesday evening at 8:00 PM, the Santiago Bernabeu stadium will host the UEFA Champions League round of 16 match between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. The two rivals meet again in the Champions League after an eight-year break, the last double confrontation taking place in the semi-finals of 2017 when Real Madrid won the first leg 3-0 and in the return Atletico won 2-1. It will be the first time that the two teams face each other in the round of 16, apart from the 2017 semi-final the two rivals have faced each other in two finals, in 2014 and 2016 and also in a quarter-final in 2015. The team that will qualify further will meet in the quarter-finals the winner of the double between PSV and Arsenal.
Real Madrid:
Real Madrid are coming off a 2-1 away defeat to Betis in the league. Carlo Ancelotti’s men were more focused on the UEFA Champions League match and it seems that this was one of the reasons for their defeat at the weekend. Real Madrid dropped to 3rd place in LaLiga after Atletico Madrid also won at the weekend. Real Madrid are also close to the Copa del Rey final, where they won the first leg 1-0 against Real Sociedad. Against their rivals, Real Madrid also played in the play-offs to qualify for the round of 16, where they beat Manchester City twice, 3-2 away in the first leg and 3-1 in the return leg at home. Real Madrid will next play Rayo Vallecano in LaLiga.
Atl. Madrid:
On the other hand, Atletico Madrid is unbeaten in the last ten official matches, during which they have recorded six wins and four draws. The most recent success, 1-0 at home to Athletic Bilbao helped Atletico climb to 2nd place in LaLiga, one point behind the leader FC Barcelona. One of the most spectacular matches of this season for Atletico Madrid was the one in the first leg of the Copa del Rey, a 4-4 away draw with Barcelona. Just like Real Madrid and Atletico are fighting on three fronts this season, winning the LaLiga title, winning the Copa del Rey and winning the UEFA Champions League. For Atletico Madrid, the away match against Getafe in the championship follows.
