Barcelona vs. Atletico Madrid picks and predictions

Prediction

Barcelona 1, Atletico Madrid 0

Moneyline (ML)

BET BARCELONA (-115).

Barcelona might have lost 2 straight at home, but it has dominated opponents despite failing to come out on top. Barcelona has had 0.8 or more expected goals than its opponent in every home game, including a 2-1 home win against Athletic Club which sits 4th in the league.

Atletico Madrid hasn’t performed overly well on the road despite a 4-3-1 record. Madrid and had fewer expected goals in 4 of those 8 games and has had as many expected goals in 1 other. Considering those season-long trends, back BARCELONA (-115).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+125).

Both defenses are among the best in La Liga. Madrid has had 4 clean sheets in 8 away matches and has gone Under 2.5 in 6 of its last 7 road battles. It has had 0.6 or fewer expected goals in 5 of its last 6 away games.

Barcelona is allowing 1.11 goals per game this season and has 2 clean sheets in its last 6 home matches. It has allowed just 1 goal or fewer in 8 of its 11 home games.

Take UNDER 2.5 (+125). If you agree with my predicted score and believe it will be a taut, low-scoring game, you could consider the Alternative Under 1.5 (+340) for a chance to more than triple up. FanDuel Sportsbook is offering Under 2.5 (+140) and the Alternative Under 1.5 (+440).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Atletico Madrid vs. Real Madrid picks and predictions

Prediction

Atletico Madrid 1, Real Madrid 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET DRAW (+225).

Atletico is an impressive side and has a slew of talented offensive weapons. It has scored in 6 of 7 games this season and has scored at least 2 in 3 of those 7. Atletico has had 5.2 more expected goals than its opponent in 3 home games. Atletico beat Real 3-1 at home last season.

Madrid was able to add Mbappe this offseason, so it has an extremely efficient offense. Real has allowed just 5 goals in 7 matches. It has drawn 2 of 3 road matches. Given this will be Real’s first real test of the season and it hasn’t earned 3 points often on the road, don’t expect Real to win here. BET DRAW (+225).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (-125).

One of 2 games last season went Under this total, and Real hasn’t been capable of scoring consistently on the road. All 3 of Real’s road games have gone Under this total with this exact finish being the result in 2 of 3 of those.

Atletico has played well at home this season, but it hasn’t dominated opponents as of late. Atletico had 0.9 fewer expected goals in its last match, a 1-0 victory at Celta Vigo Thursday. Atletico has gone Under in 4 of its last 5 matches and has a clean sheet in 5 of 7.

TAKE UNDER 2.5 (-125).

Borussia Dortmund vs. Atletico Madrid picks and predictions

Prediction

Borussia Dortmund 1, Atletico Madrid 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+260).

Dortmund will be at home, but against quality Champions League teams at home, it hasn’t dominated. They were 1-2-0 (2 draws) at home in the group stage and had fewer expected goals in 2 of the 3. They also has as many expected goals as PSG in their 2-0 Round of 16 home win.

Despite Atletico’s struggles on the road, they did have a strong enough performance to home to suggest they are the better side. They ended with 1.3 more expected goals. Atletico has also been better in league play.

Considering Madrid is on the road, the value here is on the draw. Back DRAW (+260).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+120).

Dortmund has gone Under this total in 3 of their last 4 Champions League fixtures. They actually have gone Under this total in 7 of 9 Champions League matches, including the 6 group stage battles. Dortmund has allowed multiple goals in those 9 games just 2 times and has 4 clean sheets.

Atletico didn’t have as competitive of a group stage, but they have gone Under in 2 of their last games, and they have had 1.3 or fewer expected goals in 5 of 9.

Considering the trends for both teams and how competitive this game should be played, back UNDER 2.5 (+120).

Barcelona vs. Atletico Madrid picks and predictions

Prediction

Barcelona 1, Atletico Madrid 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+240).

Barcelona has been great at home, but it has 3 draws in 14 matches. It has drawn 2 straight La Liga matches as well, 1 of which was at home. While Barcelona did beat Atletico 1-0 earlier in the season on the road. Madrid has 1.7 expected goals, more than Barcelona .7.

Madrid plays Barcelona well and is 9-0-3 in its last 12 league matches. It has won 4 of its last 5 road matches as well. Considering its strengths on the road and earlier nail-biting battle with Barcelona, take the DRAW (+240) for a small unit.

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN UNDER 2.5 (-150).

Barcelona has allowed only 9 goals this season. It has gone Under this total in 7 of its last 9 league matches. Its offense has slowed down, having failed to score in 3 straight matches throughout all competitions.

Atletico has gone Over in 2 straight, but has gone Under in 7 of its last 11 matches. It heavily limited Barcelona the 1st time and should be able to keep things in check in this battle. Given the juice on the line, for a unit, take the UNDER 2.5 (-150).

Atletico Madrid vs. Real Betis picks and predictions

Prediction

Atletico Madrid 1, Real Betis 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+300).

Real Betis has played top-tier opponents well this season, drawing Villarreal on March 12 and drawing Real Madrid on March 5. They have 3 road draws this season in 13 matches.

Atletico has drawn 3 at home in 13 matches as well, and they did have fewer expected goals in their lone matchup against Betis. Real had drawn 2 of its last 7 league matches as well.

These teams both play a defensive-minded style and were within .6 expected goals in the 1st battle. This should be a close game, and a sprinkle on the DRAW (+300) is worth the risk.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (-125).

Atletico has gone Under in 6 of their last 8 games, and they allow just .73 goals per game, having held their opponent scoreless in 4 of their last 6 matches.

Betis allows just 1 goal per game and has had a clean sheet in 2 of their last 3 league matches. Both teams have a stronger defense than offense, and that should result in a low-scoring game.

Take the UNDER 2.5 (-125).

Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid picks and predictions

Prediction

Real Madrid 2, Atletico Madrid 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET REAL MADRID (-120).

Real has been incredible at home this season, winning 7 of 10 games with no losses and 3 draws.

Although Atletico is solid on the road with 7 wins, 2 losses and 2 draws, it has played just one top-6 team away from home — a 1-1 draw with Real Sociedad.

Real also beat Atletico at home in a Copa del Rey quarterfinal Jan. 26. Real has had more expected goals in all but 1 home game this season. Real and Barcelona are a league above the rest, and Real should prove that here.

BACK REAL MADRID (-120).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN OVER 2.5 (+115).

Atletico has quality attackers as Morata and Griezmann are expected to be active and are among the league’s craftiest goal scorers. That should help Atletico get on the board at least once.

Atletico has been held scoreless just once on the road in league play. Real Madrid is averaging 2.09 goals per game and has 2 or more expected goals in 6 of its last 7 home games throughout all competitions.

Atletico’s attack put up 5 goals on a solid Liverpool defense, and it should be able to produce Saturday. Real has gone Over this total in 6 of 10 home games this season.

BET OVER 2.5 (+115).
