Derby day in the Spanish capital. Real Madrid host Atletico Madrid in La Liga and the Statz model has a clear verdict on this one.
Real Madrid come in at W L L W W – a mixed spell but ending on a positive note. Atletico Madrid are L W W W W going into this – four wins before their last defeat. They have been in strong form.
On recent form you could argue for Atletico. The data disagrees.
The numbers back Real Madrid firmly at home:
Real are projected nearly double the shots on target – 4.90 vs 2.90. The goals gap is significant: 1.81 to 1.06. At the Bernabeu, Real’s model dominance is exactly what you would expect. Atletico are stubborn and organised, but the underlying data says this is Real’s game to lose.
The model is clear. Real at home, with a significant projection edge. Atletico’s form is decent but the Statz numbers do not support them getting a result here.
Tips:
– Real Madrid to Win – projections are dominant at home
– Real Madrid -0.5 Asian Handicap if available at value
– Under 3.5 Goals – a tight derby with one team dominant but Atletico likely to keep it scrappy
