What is the Bet of the Day?

The bet of the day is either a single, double, triple or accumulator that our expert has selected, based on a number of factors including form and statistics.

How do we select our bet of the day?

Finding the best value bet out there can be tricky given the vast amount of matches and markets available, thus we assess all of these and sort through to find the best bet with the strongest value.

What do we keep an eye out for in our bet of the day?

The most important thing we look out for is the value that each bet provides. We are looking for bets that not only have a good chance of coming in, but also picks that hold great value.

What are the odds of the bet of the day?

We never choose a specific price for our bet of the day, but in general, we attempt to choose those bets that are around a price of evens (1/1 or 2.0) and above.

Los Blancos to edge tight derby

Getafe play a defensive style of football. This approach has led to several low-scoring games against Real Madrid recently. Out of the last 12 encounters between the clubs in La Liga, 11 have ended with two goals or fewer.

Los Azulones have done a good job of restricting the attacking talents of their neighbours. However, they’ve still lost all eight of their last meetings.. Seven of those matches finished with 1-0 or 2-0 wins for Real Madrid.

The likes of Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham are sidelined through injury for Los Blancos on Monday. Therefore, they’ll rely on Vinicius Junior for attacking inspiration on Monday.

Getafe have struggled to score goals throughout this season. They average only 0.8 goals per game in La Liga. Because of this, another low-scoring win for Real Madrid seems very likely.
