With all eyes falling on the Bernabeu, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid will get their respective Champions League Round of 16 adventures underway when the arch-rivals meet on Tuesday night.
Turning their attention back to Champions League action here, Carlo Ancelotti’s superstar squad are seeking an immediate response following on from their dramatic collapse in Andalusia over the weekend.
Although Atletico might travel across the Spanish capital pencilled in as a real underdog, Tuesday’s guests are enjoying what has become a sensational purple patch and they should not be overlooked by any measure.
In what could prove to be another Champions League thriller from the Bernabeu, we have taken a look at some of the most eye-catching Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid bet builder tips.
A rugged task for Los Blancos
Although Real Madrid might have extended on their Champions League adventure last month as they secured a thrilling 6-3 aggregate win against Manchester City, Los Blancos will be bracing themselves for what is a real challenge here.
Suffering a collapse away at Real Betis over the weekend as they fell to a 2-1 loss in Andalusia, Ancelotti’s men will meet an Atletico squad that are riding a remarkable wave of momentum.
Storming their way to a Champions League top-eight finish, Diego Simeone’s camp have continued to receive a fearsome reputation from across the continent and are regarded as a genuine European dark horse.
In fact, Atletico have suffered just a sole defeat from any of their previous 26 appearances across all competitions – a run that stems all the way back to October 26th.
Likewise, signing off their group stage campaign with a 4-1 romp against Salzburg, Tuesday’s guests are more than capable of springing an upset at the Bernabeu.

Chances to fall at both ends
While Atletico Madrid might travel across the capital on Tuesday night pencilled in as a real underdog contender, Simeone’s camp will ask some real questions at the Bernabeu.
Meeting a Los Blancos defence that has continued to show some real inconsistencies this season, it should be highlighted that the two arch-rivals have a habit of producing plenty of fireworks when they meet.
With Madrid and Atletico playing out a 1-1 stalemate when they met for a La Liga showdown at the Bernabeu on February 8th, each of their last three meetings have finished in a 1-1 scoreline.
In fact, with chances potentially coming thick and fast on Tuesday night, each of the previous nine consecutive meetings between Madrid and Atletico across all competitions has finished in both teams getting on the scoresheet.
With Simeone’s side not drawing a blank at the Bernabeu since way back in December 2021, Tuesday’s guests will be confident of testing a leaky Los Blancos defence.

Alvarez to extend on his purple patch
While French icon Kylian Mbappe might steal most of Tuesday’s striking headlines, he is not the only European superstar who has made an immediate impact since arriving in Madrid.
Watching Julian Alvarez complete a record-breaking move from Manchester City last summer for a reported free in the region of £65million, the Argentinian ace has become a real hit with Atletico fans.
Coming off the bench and bagging the winner against Athletic Bilbao over the weekend, the 25-year-old has received a string of praise from Simeone and should play another leading role here.
In fact, finding the net away at Los Blancos while in La Liga action on February 8th, Alvarez has now registered five goals in as many domestic appearances across all competitions.
Likewise, notching six goals in his eight Champions League showdowns this season, Atletico’s new striking talisman will be looking to test a Madrid defence that has recorded just two clean sheets from any of their last nine outings.
