Sunday Football Tips: Vinicius & Gallagher to feature in 9/2 Madrid derby double split

Against Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid Real Madrid in Sunday’s big derby clash

Sunday night’s big game takes place in the Spanish capital as Atletico Madrid host fierce rivals Real Madrid in an always red-hot derby match.

Atleti won this game 3-1 last season and have only lost one of their last five La Liga meetings, while Real have only scored once in their last six.

And Carloa Ancelotti is without Kylian Mbappe for this final trip across Madrid, where Diego Simeone’s side have lost just one of their last nine home games and are yet to concede this season.

But in this spicy situation it is always worth going down the discipline route for our Bet Builder options.

Conor Gallagher is sure to be right at the heart of the action in his first Madrid derby, and his performances suggest that many feel he will grab it and take a lot of fun away.

But he’s actually been fouled more times than he’s been fouled (7-11) and he’s been fouled multiple times in the four games he’s started so far.

In his last two games Gallagher has been fouled three times in each, conceding just two, so at 7/4 being harassed 3+ times there is certainly a chance, at home in a derby, that Gallagher will land this bet again.

By the same token, Vinicius Jr you’d be more likely to be on the wrong side of any fouls, but he’s promised plenty this season – and if there’s any side and mood for more promotion it’s Atletico in the derby.

The Brazilian 6/5 to give 2+ faults which he has managed four times this season, and is always very close as he has only failed to concede once in the current campaign.

So against Simeone’s men who will focus on him, especially without Mbappe, Vinicius will do well just to provide a joke or two here.
