Betting on Real Madrid (To be defined at Caliente)
It’s the beginning of what promises to be Carlo Ancelotti’s last season in charge of Real Madrid’s first team. Everything indicates that the Italian coach will take over the Brazilian National Team in 2024, so he will seek to leave the institution with glory in hand.
After their debut in Sunday’s match against Milan, the Whites will have to face Manchester United, Barcelona (just 72 hours later), and Juventus. These competitors will be of great help in determining what the Spanish team aspires to for the start of La Liga.
In the previous domestic tournament, they had the best offense with 75 goals and an average of 1.97 goals per game. Additionally, they had the fourth-best defense in the local First Division, with 36 goals against and an average of 0.94 goals conceded per match. However, these records were not enough to deny their bitter rivals, the culés, the title.
In the UEFA Champions League, the story was no different for Madrid. They had a superb campaign that took them to the semifinals but were convincingly eliminated by Manchester City (1-5 on aggregate). That week, they suffered their two most recent defeats, both away from home, against City (0-4) and Valencia (0-1).
Considering their last 12 games, they only won in 50% of them, which shows the inconsistency they have had in 2023. The Madridistas will want to strengthen their defense, as they have conceded goals in seven of those games. However, it is worth noting that their offense remains intact, as they have also scored in those matches.
Probable Lineup (4-3-3):Thibaut Courtois; Daniel Carvajal, Eder Militao, David Alaba, Fran Garcia; Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, Jude Bellingham; Rodrygo Goes, Vinicius Jr, Joselu Mato.
Real Madrid vs Manchester United
Betting on Manchester United (To be defined at Caliente)
Unlike their opponent, Manchester United has already played three friendly matches this month of July, and they’ve won all three. The first one was a 2-0 victory against Leeds United, then a 1-0 win against Lyon, and finally, a comfortable 2-0 triumph over Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal.
In their match against the Gunners, led by Erik ten Hag, Bruno Fernandes and Jadon Sancho scored in the first half, making the remaining 45 minutes a mere formality. The Dutch coach made 10 substitutions in the second half to give playing time to his players. After the match, there was a penalty shootout at MetLife Stadium, which Manchester United also won 5-3.
The English team hasn’t played since June 3 when they lost in the FA Cup final against Manchester City (1-2). They will aim to maintain their unbeaten record away from Old Trafford, where they showed their worst form last season. On the road, they lost in six of their last 12 matches and only managed three victories. The most concerning part is that they failed to score in five of those defeats.
Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Tom Heaton; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martínez, Luke Shaw; Casemiro, Mason Mount; Antony, Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho; Jadon Sancho.
