Betting suggestion:

A game where the Real Madrid team is aiming to get back on the road to victory, because they will have all the support of their fans to reach the goal.

On the other hand, the visiting team is in a different situation from the opponent, that is, they must use the counterattack to reach the goals. Thus, both teams are likely to have good opportunities to score.
