This weekend, in the Spanish football championship, the dark horse "Malaga" will meet the defending champion Madrid "Real" team. Meanwhile, all eyes in Italy will be on Rome, where the local "Roma" will face "AC Milan". We review the perspectives of the upcoming opponents and present the odds set by the bookmakers at "TonyBet".
"Malaga" - 5.65 / Draw - 4.25 / Madrid "Real" - 1.55
"Malaga" slowed down a bit after a stormy start to the season, but they are not ready to easily surrender to the royal Madrid "Real" club, which plays so inconsistently that they may slowly lose the opportunity to defend the champions title.
The modest Spanish club unexpectedly made its way into the UEFA Champions League this year, triumphing in their group and eagerly awaiting the knockout matches against "Porto". Additionally, in the championship, where attacking football dominates, "Malaga" has defended their goal with an iron curtain - conceding only 10 goals in 16 matches - the best result in Spain. Their confidence will be boosted by the last two games, where they scored 6 goals without reply against "Sevilla" and "Granada". Although they may not excel in goal scoring, they have many players capable of threatening the opponent's goal and making it difficult for the opposition.
Last season's Spanish champions, Madrid "Real", are currently 13 points behind eternal rivals "Barcelona" and four behind the other capital club "Atletico". In these matches, the royal club will settle for nothing less than a victory, as another stumble could leave them far behind in the title race. Charismatic Jose Mourinho does not hide his disappointment with the unstable performance, but they are not giving up on the season before reaching the halfway point. The team is ready to aim for their 10th European title, but the Champions League draw brought them up against the well-known team of "Manchester United". On the other hand, to win a prestigious trophy, they will have to overcome a series of strong opponents. Perhaps one of the best footballers in the world, C.Ronaldo, has already scored 14 goals in the Spanish championship.
Two teams in the Spanish football championship that demonstrate the best defense will clash in the 17th round, and high-level football spectacle can be expected. If the match ends in a draw, a special - conditional bet will be applied!
"Roma" - 2.35 / Draw - 3.60 / "AC Milan" - 2.85
The neighboring teams in the Italian championship, "Roma" and "AC Milan", want to head into the holiday break in good spirits and improve their positions in the standings.
"Roma" has not won any titles in Italy for four years, but this season the team has significantly strengthened, although it took some time for the new players to start showing the desired results. After four successive wins, they suffered a defeat last weekend against the mid-table team "Chievo". In terms of goals scored in the Italian championship, no one can match "Roma", who has scored 38 precise shots, although no player stands out in terms of goal-scoring – two players scored 8 goals each, and the club icon Francesco Totti has scored 6 times.
An injury crisis and a series of changes in the lineup constantly plagued "AC Milan" at the beginning of the season. It seemed like this season was already doomed when the team was at the bottom of the Italian championship table, but slowly this prestigious club returned to a winning path. Everything turned around with a victory against Champions "Juventus" players, and since then the black and white team has not suffered any more defeats and constantly improves its positions. Perhaps with a bit of luck, the 14-point deficit to the leaders as the season nears its end will dissolve, although undoubtedly the club's goal is the Champions League trophy, but the fateful draw brought them against "Barcelona" already in the quarterfinals.
"Roma", in sixth place, has a 2-point advantage over seventh-placed "AC Milan", and as the holidays approach, they will aim for a fourth consecutive victory at home. A conditional bet is also placed on this match.
