Also, Not just on these two games, TopbetsSA picks the top five betting fixtures you can place your money on, plus extra tips for our readers.
Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid
The El Derbi Madrileno is set for Sunday with Real Madrid visiting Atletico at the Metropolitano Stadium. While Real Madrid boasts a flawless record with six wins from six matches this season, Atletico has had a varied start. However, they’ve dominated at home, winning their last 10 games since early February. Both teams have consistently scored in their recent encounters. The previous two derbies ended in draws, and a 1-1 result seems likely given Real’s recent performance and Atletico’s strong home record. Jude Bellingham of England, now with Real, has scored five goals in his last five La Liga matches and is a player to watch in the upcoming derby.
Verdict
Real boasts a perfect record with six victories from six matches in all competitions this season, yet they’ve only kept a clean sheet in one of their past four La Liga matches. Atletico has found the net in 17 of their previous 18 home fixtures. Given that both teams have netted in their last three encounters, goals from both sides are anticipated in the upcoming El Derbi Madrileno on Sunday.
Tip: Real Madrid to Win or Both Teams to Score ✅
Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur
Arsenal showcased their prowess with a 4-0 victory over PSV in the Champions League but face a revitalized Spurs in the North London Derby on Sunday. While Arsenal started the season strong, winning five of their six matches, they’ve shown vulnerabilities, especially in defense.
On the other hand, Spurs, under new management with Ange Postecoglou, have been impressive, securing 13 points from five matches. Their games have been high-scoring affairs, suggesting a potential goal-fest when the two teams meet. Given Arsenal’s historical home advantage against Spurs and Son Heung-min’s recent form, a 2-2 draw seems plausible, with Son likely to score.
Verdict
Both teams have kicked off the season on a high note, yet they’ve shown defensive weaknesses. Tottenham has witnessed goals from both sides in their recent three matches, and despite a clean sheet against Manchester United, they were exposed to 2.45 expected goals. Similarly, Arsenal’s five league games have seen goals from both teams in three of them.
