Defending champions Atletico Madrid 14/1 to win the La Liga title this season

Competition: La Liga
Market: Atletico Madrid to win the title
Odds: 14/1 @ 888 Sport

Recent slip-ups by La Liga giants Real Madrid and Barcelona has seen Atletico Madrid breathing down the shoulders of the duo, with Diego Simeone’s men just one point adrift of top spot. Real Madrid recently saw their incredible winning run come to an end at the hands of Valencia, while Barcelona were humbled by lowly Real Sociedad.

While many wrote off Atleti last season, even more thought the title was beyond them the following campaign, but they are right in the mix. They didn’t start the new term brightly, however, dropping points in three of their first seven games, but have since won eight of their following 10 games to find themselves in the top-three of the table.

Real Madrid are still the favourites, but their fierce rivals have beaten the Whites 2-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu this season. They still have to face Barcelona twice, with their last second meeting being the penultimate game of the season. 888 Sport are backing Simeone’s men with odds of 14/1 to win back-to-back league titles.
