Will the underdog pull off an upset at the Metropolitano?
When the newly promoted team visits the “Colchoneros,” the situation is clear. There probably isn’t much in it for the Galicians—especially since Diego Simeone’s team hasn’t dropped a single point in La Liga since September 5. So, should you bet on the home team in Atlético Madrid vs. La Coruña?
Probably not! Because even though the team from the capital is, of course, the heavy favorite in this matchup, the odds don’t make it worth betting on the “Colchoneros.” So you’ll have to find other ways to turn a profit on this game.
NEO.bet offers an attractive option for this. The bookmaker is offering good odds on the visitors scoring in the Atlético Madrid vs. La Coruña match. This is likely because the Madrid team has remained undefeated in its four home league games so far and has conceded only three goals. Nevertheless, there are good reasons to believe that the newly promoted team will score at least one goal at the Metropolitano.
Antonio Hidalgo’s team, for a club fighting to avoid relegation, boasts a very strong offense, and even without star striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang—who has been injured since mid-September—“Depor” has managed to score in eight of nine league games this season. The Galicians’ offense clearly feels particularly at home on the road. The promoted team has scored in every away game this season, netting seven goals so far.
Since the odds for Atlético Madrid vs. La Coruña are so meager that betting on the home team isn’t worth it, it’s worth considering the other side. The promoted team is, in fact, one of the better away teams in this league and has five points from four games. Their only away loss was a narrow 2–3 defeat to Real Sociedad. Accordingly, it might even be worth considering betting on the visitors to pull off a surprise draw in this match against an opponent that, while performing very well in the league, has been rather disappointing in the Champions League against Stuttgart recently.
If such a bet seems too risky for the Atlético Madrid vs. La Coruña match, you could alternatively place a handicap bet. Since the Galicians haven’t lost a game by more than one goal this season and the Madrid team has scored only one more goal than their opponents in each of their last three league matches, a bet on the visitors to win by a two-goal margin looks promising.
Atlético Madrid – La Coruña Head-to-Head Record
The history between these two teams also shows that the “Colchoneros” have often struggled against the Galicians. Although the Madrid side has won four of their last five head-to-head matches, Simeone’s team has never won by more than a one-goal margin.
Atlético Madrid vs. La Coruña Prediction
Without a doubt, the promoted team is the heavy underdog in this matchup. However, since the betting odds make it unprofitable to bet on the favorite, other options must be explored. A particularly intriguing bet is that the visitors will score at least one goal.
Furthermore, the prediction for Atlético Madrid vs. La Coruña suggests the hosts will face a tough battle, which could even end with the visiting team earning a point. At the very least, it seems realistic that the Galicians will lose by no more than one goal.
