Caught up in a fix in the Champions League, Atletico Madrid were in dire need of a win over RB Salzburg in midweek, to confirm their place in the knockout rounds of the competition. In such a crucial game, Atleti didn’t disappoint as they dispatched their lowly opposition.

Two goals either side of both halves helped Simeone’s men edge out Salzburg to clinch second-place in Group A of the CL. With the group phases already completed, Los Rojiblancos will now switch focus to the La Liga in preparation for the El Derbi Madrileno this weekend.

Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid Team News

Yet to find their best form, Real Madrid have been struggling this season. A horrific start to the Champions League saw them lose their first two games as panic arose in the Spanish capital. As per early signs, it appeared as though Los Blancos were headed for doom in the competition.

However, a late rally saw them advance to the CL last-16, beating both Shakhtar Donetsk and Lokomotiv Moscow to reach this stage. Leaving it till late to confirm their qualification, a hard-fought victory over Monchengladbach on the last matchday helped spare Madrid’s blushes.

In that crucial game, Karim Benzema turned savior for the Meringues, registering a brace to lead his side to victory. As the referee brought the game to a close, Madrid were in fine voice, celebrating the win that saw them topple Group B.

With morale very high in their dressing room, Los Blancos will be looking to build momentum with another positive result in this fixture against archrivals Atletico Madrid. They will have their work cut-out against this wonderful Atleti side.

Diego Simeone’s men are in magnificent form in the domestic league, sitting atop the standings with 16 points from their opening ten fixtures. Impressively, these ones are yet to suffer defeat here – eight wins and two draws.

Surely, Los Rojiblancos are in with a shout at lifting the La Liga trophy come season-end. But the players must not get ahead of themselves as it is still early days, and there are a lot of football matches left to play. Focus is key for Atletico Madrid.

Scheduled to take on struggling Valladolid on the last matchday, Simeone’s charges eased to a routine win, posting a 2-0 score-line on the board. Lemar and Llorente got their names on the scoresheet to send Los Colchoneros clear at the league summit.

Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid Predictions

As you would expect, it is very difficult to draw a line between these two sides. Knowing Simeone well, he is a defensive-minded manager and would be very happy to pinch out a point. Hence, Atleti are likely to be the more cautious of the two sides.

Desperate for a win, Real Madrid should be on the front-foot for large portions of the game. A good bet will be a double chance in favor of Atletico Madrid. Alternatively, you can expect in excess of a goal in this fixture.
