Atlético flies in betting

Atleti does not plan to move away from game to game, but the runrún has settled around after the 1-0 at Barça: the rojiblanco team is a candidate for the title. Those of Simeone showed solidity, personality and quality, they have put nine points of advantage to the Barcelona and that is already reflected in the bookmakers. Confidence skyrockets and Atleti is already the second favorite, stalking Real Madrid. And it has never been such a favorite at this point.

For Atlético to be proclaimed League champion seven years later it pays between 2.8 and 2.9 euros for each bet. To put in context, at the start of the season, the odds were 10 to 1; before Atleti-Barça it had been reduced to 4. With the victory on Saturday, the rojiblancos grow and The Catalans fall to between 4 and 4.25. The success of Real Madrid is paid at between 2.25 and 2.5, that is to say, trust is not much greater than in mattresses.

Atlético's good run, the only undefeated First (has not lost since February 1), has put the team under the spotlight, perhaps more comfortable when responsibility and favoritism don't signal you. Although this year those of Cholo have shown that they are not scared or worried about carrying the handle of the game, wanting the ball and showing their face at all times, despite very important casualties such as that of his scorer Luis Suárez.

The next few weeks will be very important for the future of the rojiblancos, as they have three Champions League games to tie the pass to the second round and three other League level: visit the Valencia, receive the Valladolid and derby in the Di Stefano against Madrid, that is to say, the appointment between the two great favorites, or so bettors say.
