Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid Betting Tips: BTTS

This will be a direct clash for the second spot on the league table, so we are hopeful that both Madrid clubs will adopt an attacking mindset and deliver an entertaining football display that could culminate in an exciting stalemate.

Having remained unbeaten with five victories and three draws thus far, Atletico will look to maintain their strong start by taking confidence from their record of going six straight Madrid derbies without suffering a loss during regular time.

In general, the matchups between the two Madrid rivals in recent years have been peppered with goals, with both teams registering on the scoresheet in seven of these fixtures, and we anticipate that the BTTS trend will persist smoothly here, particularly given the outstanding attacking strength of both sides.

Diego Simeone's men failed to rattle the net in every match this term except for a shocking 0-0 draw against Espanyol, but it's fair to say that luck wasn't on their side as they dominated the Catalan side, which is best revealed by the fact that they ended that drull contest with an impressive 2,62 xG and had two disallowed goals.

Four points behind the unerring league leaders Barcelona ahead of matchday eight, Real Madrid cannot afford to drop any more points as another setback could be fatal to their title race, but their recent form is encouraging as they make it five straight triumphs in any format.

Even though Atletico have demonstrated a solid defense with five shutouts in their last seven outings, we doubt they will find it easy to contain their biggest rivals Real Madrid who have shone in front of goal by scoring 2 or more goals in five consecutive matches across all competitions.

Although star striker Mbappe is missing the Madrid derby, we believe that Real still boasts exceptional attacking prowess, but with four goals shipped in the last three matches, we expect Atletico to also find a way to the back of the net. All in all, a high-scoring affair is on the cards!
