Atletico Madrid Fans Putting Hopes in Metropolitano Stadium Magic
One hundred forty days have passed since Atletico Madrid last lost a game at Metropolitano Stadium. This happened in the Champions League duel with Lille on October 23, 2024, in which the visitors from France won 3:1.
Since then, Diego Simeone’s men have been terrific on home turf, winning 10 games and drawing two across all competitions. During this brilliant run, we saw them beat such big teams as Bayer Leverkusen and Athletic Bilbao.
However, truth be told, they haven’t played against elite opponents such as their next rival. In fact, they don’t have a very good record against Real Madrid. Most of their recent duels played at Metropolitano Stadium ended in a tie, while on the road, Atletic won just once in the last 10 years.
Real Madrid’s Ambitions Keep Increasing
Real Madrid might be the very best soccer team on the planet. Led by the most decorated manager in the history of the Champions League – Carlo Ancelotti – Los Blancos are strong in all aspects of the game.
They have an elite defense, a very creative midfield, while their strongest weapon is their offense with Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham, and Vinicius Jr.
This is why it’s no surprise these guys are in the competition to win three trophies this season – La Liga, Copa Del Rey, and the Champions League.
If they want to achieve this, they just need to keep on doing what they’ve been doing so far. They’re in great form as proven by the 2:1 win over Atleti in the first leg.
Atletico Madrid vs. Real Madrid Prediction
Seven of the previous 10 Atletico Madrid vs. Real Madrid duels ended in a tie. Our prediction is that the same will happen in the March 12 duel.
Los Blancos are a better team, but they don’t need to go for a win here. Instead, a draw will take them to the UCL quarterfinal.
We’re pretty confident this will happen, and you can trust our judgment! We correctly predicted that Real Madrid was going to win and that there would be over 2.5 goals in the first game.
