Tip and bets
In this match we will see a battle of teams, who won 8 out of 9 most recent matches, so they are in a wonderful form. Both clubs clinced a play-off berth already, but a victory can lead the Italian side to the top spot. We think that no one will force things today - all tasks have been fulfilled, there are domestic league matches up ahead, so clubs need to save the energy of their best players. We are not expecting many goal opportunities to be created in this match.
Our prediction - total under 3 goals
In our opinion, there are too many injuried players in visitors' squad, so they won't be able to put up a fight to the Blancos at Santiago Bernabeu. We think that a draw will be a positive result to everyone.
Our second bet is on a draw
