Clearly the best side in the Big Bash League this season, Sydney Sixers have amassed a staggering 32 points from 11 games to sit atop the standings. Well clear of the chasing pack behind them, it is fair to say they have all but secured top-spot. Having already picked up two Championship laurels, the Sixers will be looking to add to their trophy cabinet with success this campaign. After thrashing Perth Scorchers last time out, the Sixers will be keen on extending their three-game winning run by toppling the Thunder here.
Diego Simeone’s team is on the first line in the championship (41 points in 16 games). The gap from the second coming Real Madrid is equal to 4 points, while Atletico has two games in reserve. On account of the “mattress” there are 13 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat. Atletico have won 6 wins in their last 7 matches in all competitions. The only misfire during this time was the defeat in the 1/16 final of the Spanish Cup from Cornelli, which is the team of the 3rd division (0:1). For the second year in a row Atletico is eliminated from the Cup by a team that is lower in level. Last season the mattress did not cope with another team of the 3rd division, namely with Kultural Leonesoy (1:2). In the championship Simeone’s team does not allow this. In 12 of the last 13 games in La Liga, Madrid have celebrated victory. On the eve Atletico beat Sevilla (2:0) in a home match thanks to goals from Angel Correa and Saul. The main trump card of the mattress is a reliable play of defense and goalkeeper Jan Oblak. Thanks to their well-tuned game, Atletico conceded only 6 goals, although in terms of the danger of the allowed shots they scored 12.5 of the expected conceded goal. This suggests that Madrid is effectively neutralizing any threats at their own gates. More soccer prediction today can be obtained from the link provided.
