Atletico Madrid will try to be the first to knock off Real Madrid in the Spanish La Liga this season when they host Madrid Derby 2022 at Wanda Metropolitano Stadium. Los Blancos have won all five league games for their best start since 1968. They also have won both of their UEFA Champions League games, including a 2-0 victory against RB Leipzig on Wednesday. Atletico (3-1-1) are off to an uneven start and come in off a 2-0 loss to Bayer Leverkusen in their UCL matchup on Tuesday.      

Kickoff in Madrid is set for 3 p.m. ET on Sunday. Caesars Sportsbook lists Real as the +140 favorites (risk $100 to win $140) on the 90-minute money line in its latest Atletico Madrid vs. Real Madrid odds. Atletico are the +210 underdogs, a draw is priced at +220 and the over/under for total goals is 2.5. (For more soccer coverage, click here)

Before you make any Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid picks or any other Spanish La Liga predictions, you MUST see what SportsLine soccer insider Martin Green has to say! 

After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Since then, his European soccer picks have been spot-on. Green has generated almost $33,000 for $100 bettors since the 2017-18 season, and he is 5-3 on La Liga picks and 22-17 over his past 39 soccer picks overall. He has his finger on the pulse of the game all over the globe.

Green knows Real have been excellent in attack and could exploit an Atletico back line that has suffered some injuries. Los Blancos also should be able to control the midfield with Tony Kroos and Luka Modric. They have held the ball 60 percent of the time, while Atletico are at less than 46 percent possession. The midfielders can feed strong attackers in Vinicius Junior (team-high four goals) and Rodrygo (two). Eden Hazard also can cause trouble if he gets a chance with striker Karim Benzema out with an injury.  

The expert also is aware that Atletico are tough to beat when they come up against their bitter rivals. The teams are even at 5-8-5 in their past 18 meetings, and Los Rojiblancos won the last one at Wanda Metropolitano, 1-0 back in May. They have allowed just four goals in their five matches, and they have yielded 68 shots, but only 15 have been on target. That 22.1 percent accuracy rate is the best in La Liga. Alvaro Morata (three goals) and Antoine Griezmann (two) are the top scorers for Los Rojiblancos.  

Now, Green has taken a close look at the Atletico Madrid vs. Real Madrid match from all sides, and we can tell you he is taking the Under on the goal total. He also has two other CONFIDENT best bets, both offering plus-money payouts, and a full breakdown of this Madrid Derby 2022. You ABSOLUTELY need to see his picks and analysis before making any selections of your own.
