Tip and bets
We offer to place a bet on the visitors here, they won't have to leave the capital, plus they have a huge class advantage, they also have no margin for error now. Vallecans lost any motivation for the rest of the tournament, so they are unlikely to put up a fight against the reigning champions.
Our prediction - Atletico to win the match
We think that nominal visitors should be able to showcase their offensive potential and to find a net a couple of times. In four latest head-to-head matches no more than two goals were scored and we are expecting this series to end now.
Our second bet is on total over 2,5 goals
