It’s not often you get a chance to back under 2.5 goals at odds-against in a match involving Atletico.
This is after all the team who’s become famous over the years for the 1-0 win where they go a goal up and then defend resolutely, at times cynically, till the final whistle.
Proof of the low-scoring nature of their results is that only one man has kept as many clean sheets in this competition (since his debut) as the wonderful Jan Oblak. It’s 26 and counting with only Marc-Andre ter Stegen able to match him.
Yes, this was 3-2 in Madrid a few weeks ago but I can’t see that happening again and it has all the hallmarks of a slow burner.
Or a match that never lights up all.
It’s 2.265/4 on unders and that will do me fine.
Felix better value than Suarez
Just because we’re on ‘unders’ doesn’t mean the goalscorer markets aren’t worth a look.
Mergim Berisha got two in Moscow last week, his eighth and ninth of the season, and he’s 21/10 to get another here.
For Atletico Luis Suarez is evens to score while Joao Felix is a far more attractive 13/8, especially after getting a brace against these very opponents in Madrid.
He’s on 11 goals already this season.
If like me, you think this could be low-scoring, it may be better to chance them both on the first goalscorer market instead. It’s 7/2 the Uruguyan and 5/1 the Portuguese wunderkid.
