Diego Simeones Rojiblancos had a summer of serious movement, the most noteworthy of which saw Portuguese wonderkid Joao Felix join on a record bargain from Benfica. Atleti appeared strong in play — for what that is worth scoring a triumph over a 2-1 win over Juventus along with Real Madrid in New Jersey .
Historic trends also lets Simeones squad is a very safe bet: Atletico completed ahead of Real Madrid in 2017-18 and 2018-19, and hasnt finished outside the top three (or below anyone apart from Bar??a and Real) because 2011-12.
There are two other genuine challengers such as Atletico in Sevilla (+800) and Valencia (+600); the former hasnt finished before Atletico because 2010-11, while the latter hasnt since 2011-12.
It remains to be seen whether new manager Julen Lopetegui can steer Sevilla back into being a regular top-five squad; the Spain youth trainer fought at Porto in his prior club endeavor.
At Valencia, a great summer has seen manager Marcelino add quality bits in goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen (Barcelona) and ahead Maxi Gomez (Celta); this past year was a crazy ride to the Valencians, who started terribly but caught fire down the stretch to finish fourth, and their summer additions must have them in the top five this season.
It is interesting to note a lack of odds love for Getafe (+4000), which ended a club-best 5th in La Liga last year but is predicted to fight with valve congestion and regress into a more typical mid-table finish.
Given that Atletico added a quality and the club of Simeone consistently punches above the burden of its own squad on paper, its unlikely either will provide it a serious run with this bet.
Pick: Atletico Madrid (-250)
Lets have fun and keep it civil.
