• Atletico v Real Madrid derby in La Liga’s 7th round
• Cristiano Ronaldo should shine against city rival Atlético
• Barca are favourites in Sevilla

Real Madrid are still undefeated so far this season, and they are likely to be able to continue with that great form against the city rival. Double chance for Real Madrid either tying or winning goes for 1.40 (2/5) odds at Bet365 Sportsbook. Wagering on less than 2.5 goals during the match could also be a good idea. The odds for this market are 1.75 (3/4) and Atletico are known for their defensive football style, while Real Madrid seems to have problems with scoring – at least they suffered on several games this season.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored 2 goals against Malmo in the Champions League with which he equalized, moreover, according to several online gambling sites in Spain, he even took over Raúl as the top scorer in the history of Real Madrid. His performance could determine the Atletico Madrid v Real Madrid derby as well, so he will need to give his best. According to previous predictions, Sergio Ramos and Gareth Bale could return to play against Diego Simeone’s men, however their recovery is still to be confirmed.

Sevilla v Barcelona

Despite the fact that Real Madrid are still unbeaten so far this season while Barcelona are not, it is not too risky to say that the Catalans are in even better form than Rafael Benítez’s men. They won 5 out of their 6 league games, although they lost 4-1 to Celta Vigo not so long ago. Now Barcelona will make a trip to Andaluzia to play an unpredictable derby against Sevilla at Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuan.

Sevilla started the season in a horrible form, they collected only 5 points so far in 6 games. Atletico Madrid easily beat them by 0-3 in Sevilla and Barcelona are expected to reach a similar result. Bet365 Sportsbook, the popular internet betting site has set the odds for Barca’s victory at 1.90 (9/10) while those for the Andalusian success are 4.00 (3/1).

As Sevilla are not showing the best of their performances in recent times, and Barcelona are always good at attacking football, it could be worth wagering on many goals to be scored during the 90 minutes. Should the clash bring at least 4 goals, Bet365 would be willing to pay 2.50 (3/2) times the stake.
