Real Madrid has been underperforming in their away matches, with just one point earned from the last 27 possible and a troubling 23 goals conceded during this slump. Meanwhile, Atlético Madrid has excelled on their home turf, claiming victories in 16 of their recent 19 LaLiga games.
In encounters between these two sides, it’s common to see fewer than 3.5 goals scored, a trend that has persisted in 13 of their last 14 league matchups.
The only deviation from this pattern was a win by Atlético at Real Madrid’s stadium last November. Consistently, Atlético’s home games in LaLiga have also typically ended with no more than three goals scored in each, across the last 16 matches.
Despite their struggles on the road, Real Madrid has continued to score, with goals in 13 of their last 17 league games, although they’ve also conceded in the same number of matches. Atlético’s recent games similarly often end with goals from both sides, occurring in 12 of their last 15 league games.
Prediction
Considering the patterns observed, Atlético Madrid’s recent LaLiga games, particularly the last 12, have mostly seen fewer than 3.5 goals, including their last four outings.
Real Madrid’s games have shown a similar trend, with 17 of their last 19 league matches also having fewer than four goals scored. It’s likely that this upcoming clash will continue in the same vein.
Prediction: Atlético Madrid 1, Real Madrid 1
