Real Madrid Preview
After a difficult stretch of the season, Real Madrid has bounced back in a big way with two victories against really uncomfortable opponents. They overturned a 2-0 in the Copa del Rey against Villarreal with a spectacular second half, and then they beat Athletic Club at the San Mamés Stadium.
This last victory was the most important, not only because it kept them close to Barcelona in the dispute for the first place in the overall standings in La Liga, but also because they managed to keep a clean sheet, a pending assignment for Los Merengues in this 22-23 season. In fact, they had conceded at least one goal in four consecutive games.
The numbers when facing one of the city’s opponents are positive when they play at the Santiago Bernabéu, as they have won the last 3 matches in this condition.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Thibaut Courtois; Nacho, Éder Militão, Antonio Rüdiger, Ferland Mendy; Federico Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga, Dani Ceballos; Marco Asensio, Karim Benzema, Vinícius Junior.
Atletico Madrid Preview
Atlético Madrid will arrive at this knockout stage of the Copa del Rey after defeating Valladolid by a landslide in La Liga, a match that can be considered the best of the campaign at the Wanda Metropolitano, completing a superlative performance in all departments of the game, especially in the offensive.
This team also seems to be recovering good sensations in a campaign that has not been the best, as they have been able to win the last 2 games without conceding any own goal, scoring 5 goals in total.
The intention is to break the bad scoring streak they have been on when visiting this field, where they have not been able to score in any of the last 4 visits, taking into account all competitions. With Antoine Griezmann in great shape and the new signing, Memphis Depay, Simeone’s side is expected not to disappoint again in attack.
Probable lineup (4-3-1-2): Jan Oblak; Nahuel Molina, Axel Witsel, Mario Hermoso, Reinildo Mandava; Koke, Thomas Lemar, Rodrigo de Paul; Antoine Griezmann; Ángel Correa, Morata.
JefeBet Prediction
These two teams have already met once this season in a game that ended with a resounding victory for the Whites by 1-2 at the Wanda Metropolitano. While it is true that Madrid’s performance at that time was better than it is now, Ancelotti seems to have found a way to make his players, who were making some glaring individual errors, react.
Atletico Madrid will not be an easy opponent to beat, but with a complex campaign and a poor record at this ground, Real Madrid is expected to take the win and a place in the semifinals of the Copa del Rey.
Prediction: Real Madrid Moneyline (RMA 2-1 ATL).
