Let’s check the latest La Liga picks, news, stats and La Liga predictions today for Atletico vs Real Madrid. We’ve plenty of La Liga predictions for you to consider.
On May 8, Atletico will be hosting La Liga’s colossus Real Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano stadium. The last time Real Madrid took a loss in La Liga was over 45 days ago when they faced 2nd-place team Barcelona. This means that Ancelotti’s side is currently on a 6-game win streak and nothing seems to be slowing them down.
Atletico is still trying to secure a spot in the Champions League, but they are in a tough position as they are only 3 points ahead of Real Betis, the team coming after them in the standings. Now Simeone’s side heads into this match after their disappointing loss against Bilbao.
It all started with Atletico’s Mario Hermoso scoring a self-goal at the 8-minute mark. One could tell how devastating that was for Simeone’s men, and they couldn’t recover from their deficit. Bilbao finished the game with a 2-0 score and putting Atletico in a very uncomfortable position.
On the other side, we have the complete opposite of what is happening with Atletico. Real Madrid is La Liga’s champion and the team has been dominating every single opponent in the past couple of months. Although if we look at their last defeat against Barcelona, we can say that they looked like a different team.
The last time these two teams played against each other was back in December and Real Madrid took down Atletico very convincingly. Ancelotti’s side came out of the gates fiercely and scored the first goal of the match 16 minutes in.
Atletico wasn’t able to withstand Real Madrid’s aggression and the pressure was too much for them to handle. If Simeone’s side manages to take down La Liga’s champions, it’s probably going to be one of the biggest upsets in this season so far.
