A spot in the Spanish Super Cup will be at stake when Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid meet in “El Madrileno” at King Abdullah Sports City. Los Rojiblancos head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Real Madrid and their five-game unbeaten run in all competitions is surely giving fans a reason for optimism. With Diego Simeone’s troops scoring 1.80 goals per game of late, Home Team Over 0.5 goals market seems interesting. Winger Nico Gonzalez and defender Clement Lenglet should be the only absentees in the home team.Los Blancos, on the other hand, are high on confidence following a 5-1 crushing of Real Betis. Their expected goals of 2.08 are definitely a green flag, but Xabi Alonso’s troops will have to prove their worth on the field. Brahim Diaz is on international duty with Morocco, while key attacker Kylian Mbappe is unlikely to recover in time to face Atletico. You should bear in mind, though, that Real Madrid have been scoring 2.30 goals per game of late even without Mbappe in the starting XI.
