REAL MADRID v ATLETICO MADRID BETTING PREVIEW

Last week at Vicente Calderon, Atletico’s forward Raul Garcia opened the scoring with a 58th minute penalty and 19-year old Uruguayan defender Jose Gimenez made it 2-0 with a header 18 minutes later. As consequence, Atletico have won their last 3 matches against Real Madrid in all competitions.

After a 22 matches winning streak, Real Madrid have lost three consecutive games - A 4-2 exhibition defeat in Dubai against AC Milan was followed by a 2-1 loss in La Liga to Valencia. Then the Blancos lost the first leg of the Copa Del Rey last 16 round against local rivals of Atletico Madrid. Anyway, they returned to winning ways with a comfortable 3-0 win over Espanyol.

With the exception of long-term injury victim Luka Modric, Ancelotti has a full squad to choose from. Alvaro Arbeloa is doubtful, but Dani Carvajal would take his place anyway. Cristiano Ronaldo sat out the loss to Atletico but the Ballon D'Or winner will start this match.

The Colchoneros saw their title chances suffer a big blow when they were beaten 3-1 by Barcelona on Sunday at the Camp Nou. It was Atletico’s first loss to Barcelona in eight meetings. Atletico have already won at the Bernabeu this season and with the two goal advantage from the 1st leg, odds will be on Atletico Madrid to qualify for the quarter-finals of the competition.

Guilherme Siqueira and Cristian Ansaldi are both out. Fernando Torres played the first leg but this time Antoine Griezmann will support Mandzukic.Jan Oblak will be given another opportunity in the Copa del Rey, while Miranda is likely to feature on the bench once again due to the excellent recent form of Jose Gimenez.
