Atlético vs Real Madrid prediction and betting tips on January 10, 2024
As part of the first leg of the semi-finals of the Spanish Super Cup, the Madrid derby will take place, in which Atlético will play against Real Madrid. The meeting will take place in Saudi Arabia.
Atlético
At the moment, the Madrid team cannot boast of ideal form, which is reflected in its tournament position. In the standings of the Spanish Championship, the “mattress guys” occupy only fifth place after 19 rounds and this is clearly not what they expected. Atlético is already 10 points behind the leader of the standings and can hardly be considered contenders for gold medals.
Real Madrid
The Los Blancos are doing better than they can imagine. Carlo Ancelotti's team confidently won their group in the Champions League and are also leading the Spanish championship. Based on the results of 19 rounds, the “royal” club scored 48 points and “Girona” has the same number. They are already seven points ahead of last year's championship winner Barcelona. The team is showing very confident play and so far has only one defeat in 19 rounds of the championship.
Statistics and prediction for the match
The last time the teams met in La Liga was in September 2023, and then the “mattress guys” won with a score of 3:1. There is no doubt that Real Madrid players remember that game and will try to take revenge.
Taking into account the statistics of past matches, we can come to the conclusion that quite often the teams exchanged goals in head-to-head confrontations. I will not change traditions and bet on the outcome “both teams will score” with odds of 1.8.
