Atlético de Madrid vs Athletic Bilbao: Don't Expect Many Goals

In the Spanish Super Cup semifinals, two total under teams will meet. Atlético and Athletic will come to Riyadh to determine who deserves to go to the final and who doesn't. Let's review the form of the teams and advise you on what to bet on. We'll suggest a few options for you to bet on!

Atlético has not performed competently in its last six matches - two wins, a draw and three defeats. First, the Indians suffered three losses (from Real Madrid 0:2, Sevilla 1:2 and Granada 1:2), but they ended the series of failures, winning Rayo with a score of 2:0. Then, in the Spanish Cup, Atlético made it to the round of 16 without any problems, beating Rayo Majadahonda 5:0 and, finally, sharing points with Villarreal in a draw (2:2).

Athletic is doing well in La Liga and has a good chance to climb into the European competition, scoring 28 points in 20 rounds. In the Super Cup, the Lions are considered outsiders, and bookmakers do not believe that the team will make it to the finals. This is evidenced by the odds of the victory of the nominal guests. So, most likely, the team's head coach, Marcelino, will focus on defence and rely on counterattacks. In the previous game, Athletic held a draw with Alaves (0:0).

Although bookmakers have decided to neglect Atletico, we will not do it. Atletico is undoubtedly a powerful team, but it has not been showing its best playing lately. In this pair, goals are not expected as both teams like to concentrate on defence and play on the counterattack. It will not be surprising to see some extra time without scoring a single goal. Prediction: Total Under (2).
