Real Madrid vs Atl. Madrid Prediction & Betting tips
The term friendly match and mating Real Madrid vs. To mention Atletico Madrid in one sentence is a contradiction in terms. There are pairings in football where there simply can not be friendlies. Alone the prestige is huge and although the encounter in the context of a test match in the pre-season, both teams want to win. Especially the recent appearances of Real at the Champions Cup made for spectacle. Four goals in the game against Bayern, four goals against Arsenal, two red cards and a serious injury to the Gunners – that’s the record so far.
Add to that the ongoing discussion about the impending departure of Gareth Bale. City rivals Atletico are also not really enjoying a summer break behind the club. The Transfertheater to superstar Antoine Griezmann dominated the headlines for weeks and the last chapter seems still not spoken despite the now official execution.
The two coaches Zinedine Zidane and Diego Simeone want to prepare their team as best as possible for the new season and take advantage of the test matches in the States for this side event. Especially “El Choco” has a big job in front of the chest. Atletico has a huge change behind it, or is still in the middle. No wonder that everything did not work out in the first game against the Mexican representative Guadelajara and the Spaniards won on penalties after scoreless 90 minutes.
No wonder, therefore, that between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid the odds for a tip on the winner on the side of the Royal are lower. The match will be kicked off at 01:06 German time on the night from Friday to Saturday. Venue is the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford.
Real Madrid :
As soon as the farce around Gareth Bale seems to be flattening a bit, there is the next big problem at Real Madrid. After the Welshman was on the strike list for weeks and even coach Zidane publicly recommended a farewell (and received a lot of criticism), both parties have expressed their conciliatory views and affirmed their mutual appreciation. Bale was even allowed to play against Arsenal and thanked his coach with a goal for the meantime 1: 2. Later, Marcos Asensio scored the equalizer before quickly becoming a tragic figure.
After a harmless duel with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang the 23-year-old remained with a distorted face and had to be led by the field. A little later confirmed the bad suspicion in the hospital – cruciate ligament rupture. Asensio, who should play an important role in the newly formed team at headquarters this season, will be out for months. Also for the opponent Arsenal this could have consequences, since now the transfer of the U21 European champion Dani Ceballos, which was actually already decided thing, threatens to burst. Much depends on whether or not the royals act again on the transfer market.
With Kroos, Modric or Isco, the Iberians in the midfield are already occupied prominently, but it lacks in breadth of quality. In addition to the high-profile new entrants Eder Militao, Luka Jovic and especially Eden Hazard could actually do anything until the closure of the transfer window. Whether Zidane in the test match against Atletico his stars rather a little spared to prevent further injury? Hardly imaginable.
Even in training can always happen something and especially against the city rivals, he would like to celebrate the first victory after 90 minutes. So far, the results were rather moderate with the 1: 3 against Bayern and the 2: 2 against Arsenal. Before the start of the season in mid-August, only the Audi Cup is on the program, which is why as many players as possible should receive minutes of use. It is expected again that the French coach will replace a large part of the team at halftime. In which game section he brings more players from the first team to use, can only be speculated. The big rotation at the meeting Real Madrid vs.. Atletico Madrid is at least a minor risk factor for tipping on a Royal victory. However, the Rojiblancos will also exchange properly.
Atletico Madrid:
Diego Simeone faces his toughest job so far in his long term at Atletico Madrid. At least, that’s what the Argentine himself says when he talks about the change of his team this summer. Numerous top performers from all parts of the team left the club. Diego Godin, head of the strong defense and Juanfran and Lucas Hernandez are three very important pillars that break away on the defensive. In midfield Rodrigo was released and of course there is still the great superstar, who has changed after a mud fight to FC Barcelona.
Antoine Griezmann has lost a lot of sympathy with the supporters of his former club and will now run in the jersey of FC Barcelona. As his replacement in the coming years, the super talent Joao Felix will be built. Next to him are actors like Jose Maria Gimenez, Saul Niguez or Koke players, who should and must assume more responsibility. The challenge is huge, but if someone can handle it, then the club idol Diego Simeone.
The prelude to the test game series have made the Rojiblancos against Numancia and won 3-0. Then it was still the game against Guadelajara in the course of the Champions Cup on. In the 0-0 over 90 minutes was again the defensive the showpiece of the Spanish capital club. Offensive was also not very much because Marcos Llorente already saw the red card in half time 1. Now comes the match against Real and in two weeks still the duel with Juventus Turin.
In between, two more friendlies are scheduled before on 18.08 the first match day in La Liga with the home game against Getafe is pending. A first real assessment of how far Atletico is already in preparation will be the duel with the city rivals. Between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, this forecast can already be made, nobody will give away and both clubs try to bring the prestige success.
