Atletico Madrid welcomes Real Madrid at the "Vicente Calderon" in an interesting clash of the 1/8 finals of the Cup of Spain. The match will be played on January 7 (Wednesday) 2015 and can be followed directly on the online bookmaker sites Bet365.com and Sportingbet.com.
Atletico Madrid will try to prevail over Real Madrid by seeking a third consecutive victory over them. Last year, the home side managed to win twice in less than a month to against Real Madrid - once at home in a meeting of the Spanish Cup and once in the meeting as guests in La Liga. At this tournament, Atletico Madrid has enjoyed good success, having conceded only one defeated in two of the past 19 meetings. The first match of the new 2015 ended with emphatic success over Levante with 3-1, as we predicted. Fernando Torres is expected to hold the attack, for the first time after eight years.
Atletico Madrid is not performing brilliantly this season, but their direct competitors have allowed a lot of mistakes, so the team has chance to defend their title. The boys of Diego Simeone are on the third place in the table and two points less than Real Madrid. Unpleasant moment for Simeone is the forthcoming visit at "Camp Nou" in the Primera Division, because Atletico has an equal points with Barcelona at this moment. Perhaps, Simeone will combine his holders to be able to keep the key players. Currently out are the defenders Miranda and Ansaldo.
Real Madrid failed to achieve an absolute record and Valencia stopped them in their winning way with absolute twist of 2-1 after lagged score of 0-1. However, this loss has its good side, which is the reduction of the pressure that the pursuit of the record created. Now, Real Madrid continues to lead in the Primera and now even has the chance to defeat Atletico Madrid. Against Valencia, Real Madrid was with the strongest line-up, which will happen against Atletico Madrid too. For this match we will see some players in the different headings. It is most likely to see Cristiano Ronaldo partnering with Rodriguez or Chicharito in the attack.
This is the first match of the 1/8 finals and the rematch will be played on January 15, 2015. Atletico Madrid will have benefit from the defeat of Real Madrid in La Liga and have a good chance to win, at least in this first match.
