Alright, let’s talk about Atletico Madrid vs. Alaves. I’ve been digging into this match-up, and here’s what I’ve found and what I ended up doing.
First, I started by looking at some predictions. Most of them were heavily in favor of Atletico Madrid. I saw scores like 3-1 and 2-0. Seemed like everyone was expecting Atletico to dominate, no surprises there, they are the better team on paper. I saw a few sites mention Atletico using a 4-4-1-1 formation, which is something I kept in mind.
What I did next was watch some of their recent games. I wanted to see how both teams were actually playing, not just what the stats said. Atletico looked solid, especially at home. Their attack was flowing, and their defense, as usual, was pretty tough to break down. Alaves, on the other hand, looked a bit shaky. They had some good moments, but overall they seemed to struggle against stronger teams.

After watching the games, I felt pretty confident that the predictions were right. So, I decided to make a small bet on the game. I went with Atletico Madrid to win, and I also bet on over 2.5 goals in the game. My reasoning was that Atletico would score at least a couple, and Alaves might sneak in one, especially if Atletico got a bit complacent after taking a lead. It wasn’t a huge bet, just a bit of fun. I don’t like to go crazy with these things, you know?
I also tried to predict the correct score. Based on what I saw, I went with 2-0 to Atletico. It seemed like a reasonable scoreline, considering their solid defense and Alaves’ struggles in attack.
The Outcome
In the end, the predictions were pretty much spot on. Atletico won the game, and they did it comfortably. My bet on over 2.5 goals was a winner, which was a nice little bonus. As for my correct score prediction, well, I was close but not quite there. But hey, that’s football for you – always a bit unpredictable! Overall, it was a fun little experiment, and I was happy with how it turned out.
