Meanwhile, Eduardo Berizzo said in his pre-match press conference: “We’re going to Madrid to take on Atleti with the idea of winning, like always. We will put pressure on them. They also play a very direct style of football”.
Predictions from Sportium.es, the official La Liga bookmakers
Two sides who can score will face off. The sporting bookmakers will bear witness to their accuracy.
In two of the three games played by Celta this season they have scored more than two goals, while Atlético have scored three of their four goals before the half hour mark.
If there are more than two goals at the Calderón, the quota is 1.90, and if Simeone's side are winning by the half hour mark, we’ll give you €2.50 for every Euro bet.
