Carlo Ancelotti's men will be seeking for Copa del Rey revenge when they welcome Diego Simeone’s side on Wednesday night
Atletico Madrid visit eternal rivals, Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals on Wednesday evening.
Los Blancos will be hosting Atletico for the second time this season as both teams eye a place in the Copa del Rey final.
Having lost 1-0 to Diego Simeone’s men in this same competition last year, Ancelotti’s men will be eyeing revenge. They are yet to be beaten after 21 games and they are offered at 17/20 (1.85) to secure a win in 90 minutes according to Ladbrokes.
The visitors currently sit atop the La Liga log are now unbeaten in 23 matches in all competitions, and will be hoping to extend their unbeaten run to 24 with another win at Real’s home. They are available at 3/1 (4.00) to silence their hosts.
Sportmasta back the draw at 13/5 (3.60) considering the fact that both teams might want to cancel themselves out.
If the Rojiblancos can repeat the feat at the Santiago Bernabeu it would be the first time they have ever won three consecutive matches against Real, and would boost the holders' chance of retaining the trophy.
Having ended Atletico's 17-year wait for the trophy, Simeone has continued to revolutionise the team, guiding them to the top of La Liga's table for the first time since 1996. You can back both teams to score at7/10 (1.70).
Simeone has Arda Turan available following injury, but David Villa has been ruled out after suffering a hamstring problem during Sunday's win over Sociedad. Atletico Madrid are available at 13/2 (7.50) to win to nil according to Ladbrokes.
For Punters seeking a value bet, they should back reigning world player of the year, Cristiano Ronaldo to find the back of the net first at 3/1 (4.00).
