The sports betting experts expected Atletico to be in the top-3 after the half of the season. However, Simeone’s team had a slump in the results and they sit only on the 4^th position. Although, they got close to Sevilla who now hold the third place. Besides, like Celta, los Colchoneros reached the Copa del Rey semi-final. But, confirming betting predictions, they were eliminated from the tournament by Barcelona (2-3).

While choosing a bet you should take into account the fact that Madrid are undefeated in the last 4 matches a home. What’s more, they managed to keep clean sheets in all of these 4 games.
