Bet on Atleti to win
Atleti finished fourth in the La Liga last season. They will be looking to at least challenge for the top three this season, if not the league title. They were usurped to third place by surprise package team Girona last season. When it comes to winning games by doing the bare minimum, Atleti coach Diego Simeone is the master. Atleti will do what they need to do to win this game. It will not be easy or pretty on the eye, but they will get the job done in the end.
Bet on Atleti to win 1-0
Simeone’s strength is that he has always been realistic about his side’s capabilities and he works to minimize the weaknesses of his side. He will know that this season is a marathon and not a race. Atleti will aim to win this game by doing the least possible. If they are to usurp the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona and even Girona this season, they need to make sure that they do not overwork their best players in particular.
Bet on both teams to not score
After scoring, there is a good chance that Atleti will start deploying “park the bus” tactics in order to ensure that they get over the line. The Atleti defence is one of the hardest to breach in the league. Even Real Madrid and the likes of Jude Bellingham will find them hard to breach. Both teams will not score in this game as Atletico will keep a clean sheet and succeed in doing that.
