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).

Prediction

Barcelona 1, Real Madrid 0

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN BARCELONA (+127).

Barcelona has beaten Real Madrid in 2 of 3 matches this season, losing in the lone match that counted toward league standings. This will be Barcelona’s 1st home match against Real.

Barcelona is undefeated at home, posting an eye-popping 10-0-2 record. They have also had 3 straight clean sheets, 1 of which was against Real Madrid. The absence of M Pedri makes these odds playable as well.

Real Madrid, a typically dominant side, is just 2-1-2 in its last 5 matches as well. It has taken a step back, averaging just a goal per game in the last 5. Considering those minor struggles and the home sides’ dominance, back BARCELONA (+127).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (-105).

Real Madrid has gone Under this total in 4 of their last 5 games, including a 1-0 win over Liverpool in the Champions League. Their defense is the real deal and allows just .76 goals per game. They have had a clean sheet in 6 of their last 11 matches.

Barcelona is even better defensively, allowing just .32 goals per game. They have let in 8 goals in 25 league matches. The home side has held their opponent scoreless in 10 of their last 14 matches. They have gone Under this in 4 straight matches.

With Pedri’s absence, Barcelona may struggle in transition as well. Take the UNDER 2.5 (-105).

Real Betis vs. Real Madrid picks and predictions

Prediction

Real Madrid 1, Real Betis 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+285).

Betis has been dominant as of late and has had more than a full expected goal than the opponent in 4 of their last 6 league matches. They have also drawn Madrid in 2 of their last 4 head-to-head meetings.

Madrid has also lost 3 of their 12 road matches, so they haven’t been as dominant as usual away from home. They are 2-1-1 in their last 4 league matches.

Although Madrid is the stronger, more complete side, on the road, I would sprinkle on the DRAW (+285) considering Betis’ improvements and recent head-to-head history.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (-110).

In 3 of the last 4 matches between these sides, the Under 2.5 would’ve hit.

Madrid has also gone Under in 6 of their last 8 games throughout all competitions. They’re 1-5 O/U in their last 6 league matches as well. Giving up .78 goals per game, they have one of the best defenses in La Liga.

Betis allows just 1.09, so they also have a competent backline. They are 5-2 O/U in their last 7 league matches but had just 0.5 expected goals in their first game against Real Madrid.

Considering all aspects, back the UNDER 2.5 (-110).

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).
