Tipster’s Angel

This is going to be an exciting low-scoring contest as it has been in the past head to head matches. By considering the head to head record, Real Madrid are more likely to come out on top and reduce the gap at the top.

Tip: Draw No Bet Real Madrid @ 2.00

Despite a bad start and a long list of injured players, Real Madrid are in fine form currently. In the last three head to head matches, Real Madrid have won all three matches. Also, in the last five head to head matches played in La Liga, Real Madrid are unbeaten as they have won three matches and two matches ended in a draw. In the last five matches, Atletico have just won two matches, losing two and drawing one. Also, they have just two wins in their last five La Liga matches. Real Madrid on the other hand are unbeaten in their last six matches in all competitions. They have four wins and one draw in their last five matches that they have played in La Liga. It is more likely that Real Madrid will avoid defeat, so backing Real Madrid to win with a draw no bet at 2.00 odds available at the Betway sportsbook is a good value for money.

Tip: Total Goals Under 2.5 @ 1.57

In the last three head to head matches, under 2.5 goals were scored in all three matches. In the last five matches that Atletico Madrid have played in all competitions, under 2.5 goals were scored in four matches. Under 2.5 goals were scored in all three matches that they have played in La Liga recently. In the last two matches that Atletico have played at home, both the matches had under 2.5 goals.

In La Liga, four out of Real’s last five matches had a total goal count under 2.5. Real Madrid’s last two matches also had total goals under 2.5. So it is more likely that this will be a low-scoring encounter and under 2.5 goals will be scored at 1.57 odds at the 10Cric sportsbook.
