Taking a trip to the Metropolitano is basically a nightmare for any visiting team, and right now, Tottenham is the last club that wants to be stepping into Diego Simeone’s fortress.
Atletico Madrid has been putting on absolute clinics at home in the Champions League, brushing aside heavyweights like Barcelona recently. Meanwhile, Spurs are in an absolute tailspin.
They’ve dropped five straight in the Premier League, their defense is leaking goals for fun, and the injury list just keeps growing.
When you match up a highly disciplined, aggressive Atletico side with a Tottenham team completely devoid of confidence, backing the home win (1) feels like one of the most reliable calls on the board.
