Atletico Madrid – Real Madrid, La Liga Prediction

⏩ Atletico could catch up with city rivals

Atletico could beat Real and move to within 2 points of their league rivals after losing their Champions League game against Bayer during the week by not playing particularly well as if concentrating for the clash with Real. However, the form of the team in the league has been good as they have 10 out of a possible 15 points with the loss to Villarreal being the only bitter memory for Simeone’s boys. Jimenez is out for the game and Oblak is under a serious question mark, which is certainly a problem for the hosts.

💯 Real have not lost a point so far

Real continue to be unbeaten since the start of the season – 5 league games won out of 5 possible and 2 out of 2 in the CL after also beating Leipzig during the week. What is impressive about Real is that the team, even when playing poorly, manages to win their games and hardly concedes any goals. Real’s defense is currently very strong with only 5 goals conceded since the start of the season.

⚽ An even derby awaits us

This derby is unpredictable and there is no clear trend in it. My prediction is that both teams will not be unhappy with a draw, as Real are in top form at the moment and Atletico know that if they pull off X, be it as home side, it is not a bad result. On the other hand, Real themselves would also accept a draw at this stage of the season against their city rivals as an away side, as it would in no way hurt them in the standings. Of course, it is clear that both 2 teams are going for the win, but I think that first of all they will try not to lose the game and it will be an even match, so I choose as my prediction a Draw at 3.30.
