Real Madrid in the match against Villarreal once again proved that in cup competitions they can never be written off. The team is now in great shape, although there are some losses in the squad due to injuries.
In Atletico the season so far is not going well, the team was left without a European Cup spring, in La Liga is only in the 4th place (and can lose the 4th place). In the Copa del Rey Atletico has not yet had serious opponents.
We do not think that today the rivals will play with experimental lineups, because the match is crucial for them. And yet we consider Real Madrid to be the favorite in this meeting, maybe in terms of the strength of the squad Atletico is not much inferior to Real today, but the home team looks preferable in terms of form.
Prediction: Real Madrid to win. We recommend the “1 Win” bet, odds 1.98
