Garitano’s men have the third best defence in the Spanish top flight after Barcelona and Atletico Madrid and are up at a tricky (8.00) to keep their opponents at bay in this game.
Los Blancos might have scored seven goals in their last two meetings with Los Legionarios but considering their defensive solidness and the current struggle for Real to get into the scoring act, punters can back less than three goals to surface in Madrid at (1.44) with Bet365.
