In the recently concluded La Liga grand finale, the Madrid Clasico was held as scheduled, with Sporting Madrid welcoming their city rivals Real Madrid at home. The club has always been known for its defense, and this match is no exception. The Galaxy have won 8 consecutive matches in the opening season, but their attacking power has been weakened by the absence of their arrowhead, Benschmar, due to injury. With so few matches between the two sides in recent years, a handicap of 2.5 goals seems to be more favorable. (Now 632 and 611 live at 3am on Monday)
Real Madrid has had a smooth start to the season, including the UEFA Europa League and UEFA Super Cup, and has won 8 consecutive matches. In La Liga, it is the only team to win all of its matches, with 5 consecutive victories, and the last time they won 5 consecutive matches in a league match to start a season was back in the 2009-2010 season, so it can be seen that the Galactic Armada is strong in the current season under the guidance of its manager, Antonio Anciarotti.
Real Madrid's three strikers, Binschmar, Rodrigo Gómez and Vinzios Zulia, are taking turns to make an impact, but unfortunately, the ace scorer Binschmar was injured in the UEFA Europa League match earlier and has been out for a week, so I'm afraid he won't be able to make a comeback in time, which would undoubtedly be a major blow to the attacking force.
Looking back at Real Madrid's last 7 matches, although they have a slight advantage with 3 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, they have only scored 6 goals, which shows that every time they played against Real Madrid, it was quite a stalemate.
The Majors have won 2 and 1 in their last 3 league matches, but lost 0-2 to Leverkusen in the CEL last week, and with manager Schmoney's conservative style, they are bound to tighten up their defense after the new defeat.
To avoid triggering the buyout clause, the club will only play Barcelona loan striker Kishavin for 30 minutes per game, and despite news that Barcelona is willing to sell at a reduced price, Kishavin is not expected to start this game, and the impact on the attacking end of the field cannot be ignored.
The club has always been better at defending than attacking, and is especially conservative in the matchups, with the last 7 Madrid matches all having a total of 2 goals or less, so a small goal handicap seems like a smart choice.
