Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid Prediction: Don’t expect a high-productive match

The central match of the twenty-third round of La Liga 2022/23 will undoubtedly be the Madrid derby, in which Real Madrid will host Atletico. The team has solved the problem of reaching the quarterfinals of the Champions League by a huge percentage in midweek, and now the Kings can fully concentrate on the domestic program for a while.

Real Madrid

After the setback in the Balearics, Real Madrid is on a five-match winning streak. During this period, they won the Club World Cup, beat Elche, confidently beat Osasuna on the road, and Liverpool 5:2 in the Champions League at Anfield. Interestingly, by the 14th minute of the international match, the Reds were already leading 2:0 but lost it. Vinicius Júnior and Benzema each scored a double, with Militao scoring a goal. At the start of the 23rd round of La Liga, Real Madrid was in second place, eight points behind Barcelona. Real Madrid is also sitting second in the division after the Catalans with a home record of +7=3-0, 22:7 goal difference.

Atletico Madrid

After losing to Real Madrid on January 26, the Spaniards focused entirely on La Liga. Since then, Simeone's team has played four matches in the league, scoring 10 points during this period: victories over Osasuna, Celta, and Athletic and a draw against Getafe. It should be noted that Atletico 2023 is a draw team. In the last ten games with the team's participation, TO (2.5) was reached only once, in the home match for the Athletes against Valladolid. Before the start of the game day, Atletico sits in fourth place with 41 points, four more than Betis. However, we note that they will play their match on Friday night, and this handicap may be reduced. Atlético will no longer be able to fight for the title, falling behind the leading Barcelona by 18 points in 16 rounds to the end of the competition. The visiting statistics of Atletico is the fourth in the division, +7=2-2, 15:7 goal difference. By the way, only Barcelona conceded less than Atlético in their away games in La Liga.

Expert Betting Tips

In recent years, Real and Atletico regularly played through the total under. In the first round, Atletico surprised with their open play and plenty of conceded goals. We believe the upcoming match will not be productive, especially since Real Madrid played a very emotional midweek match at Anfield. At the same time, Real Madrid has no right to lose points in La Liga. The gap with Barcelona is already significant. Real is stronger than its rival, and the upcoming game is also a home game.
