Atletico Madrid vs. Real Madrid 5/8/22 LaLiga Soccer Pick, Predictions, and Odds

Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid are clashing at Estadio Wanda Metropolitano in round 35 of the Spanish LaLiga. Atletico has a lot to play for, they need points to qualify for the Champions League, but the competition is tough. Real Madrid secured the LaLiga title last week, and earlier this week they qualified for the Champions League finals. Yes, I would say they are successful.

Atletico has won only 1 of their last 6 games, and that was against Espanyol. Despite their bad form, Atletico is in the Champions League spot, in 4^th place with 61 points, but Betis is behind them with only 3 points less. Defensively, Atletico has been very bad this season, and that is the main reason for their struggles, while their offense has been decent with 59 scored goals so far. Correa and Suarez have each scored 11 goals for Atletico so far this season, while Carrasco, Correa, and Lemar have added 5 assists each. It seems there is no easy game for Atletico this season, and it certainly won’t be easy for them to secure that Champions League spot, but they are good enough to do it.

Real Madrid is on fire, and what they are doing in the Champions League has been amazing. Real Madrid was on the brink of the elimination from the Champions League, but with 2 scored goals in the 90^th minute, they have gotten to the overtime. Real was awarded a penalty kick in the overtime, and they scored, which was enough for them to qualify for the finals. Real Madrid has also won LaLiga this season, and they were really dominant, and they deserved the title. Mostly thanks to Benzema who scored 26 goals and added 10 assists, Real Madrid has been one of the best teams in the world this season. Vinicius has added 14 goals and 9 assists. I think Real Might give a rest to some of their players, but with this being such a big matchup, I think they will go for the win just to spite Atletico Madrid. It has been an amazing season for Real Madrid, but they have one more big game ahead, and that is the Champions League finals against Liverpool.

It’s been a few years since Atletico has beaten Real Madrid at home, and even though they are favorites here, I’m not sure they can get a win. Real Madrid is in great form, and they will certainly score a goal here. I’m staying away from sides, and I will take the goals.
