Paddy Power have raised the stakes for this match with an irresistible enhanced odds offer. New customers can seize this exclusive deal to earn massively boosted odds: Real Madrid to win @ 50/1.
15-time European Cup/Champions League winners Real Madrid enter this game as firm favourites, especially when considering the quality of their squad and their recent run of good form that has seen them win four and draw one of their last five matches.
This game is expected to be a close encounter, especially when considering Diego Simeone’s side’s style of play, as they tend to set up in a very defensive manner, something which worked in the Argentinian’s favour as they earned a 1-1 draw at the home of the champions on 8th February, as Julian Alvarez scored from what was Atletico’s only shot on target.
Real Madrid have the best points per game record on home soil in La Liga, as they have accumulated 31 points from 12 matches, winning ten, drawing one and losing one. On top of this, Ancelotti’s men comfortably dispatched Manchester City in the Round of 32, producing two dominant displays as they thrashed the Sky Blues 6-3 on aggregate.
In terms of head-to-head records, Los Blancos have beaten Atlético in all of their four meetings at the Santiago Bernabéu in the Champions League, while also defeating Diego Simeone’s men on both occasions at neutral venues having won the both finals between the two sides in 2014 and 2016.
