Did you know that will be the first Madrid derby at Wanda Metropolitano stadium? Both teams are eight points ahead of Barcelona in La Liga. That will be very important game because no one wants to lose this game, especially when they’re in difficult situation.
The two Madrid giants have been struggling for form and are level on 23 points after 11 games, with Real (3rd) sitting one place above Atletico (4th) by virtue of their slightly better goal difference. A defeat would almost knock either of the two neighbors out of the title race.
The last time when both teams have fight to the each other was in May, Champions League semi-final. Real Madrid have won the first meeting on result 3-0, but in the second game Los Blancos suffered defeat on 1-2.
Both teams are not superb in attack this season – Real Madrid have scored 22 goals and Atletico - 16. Also both of them aren‘t in good shape – Los Blancos have lost two games in the last five matches and Atletico have reached three draws in a row.
It’s difficult to say who will win this game but there’s no doubt that both teams will fight for victory, which are so important. Atletico in the last five games have scored only five goals but they scored at least one goal in all this matches.
Real Madrid are little better in attack – they have scored three goals in last meeting against Las Palmas. There’s no doubt that we’ll see at least one goal from both teams. Draw aren’t good result for both of them, so both Atletico and Real will try to score more than one goal.
The main man at Real Madrid Cristiano Ronaldo demonstrate a really bad form in La Liga this season – striker have scored only one goal, while in the Champions League he have reached six goals in four games.
Despite he’s having some problem with goals in La Liga, but Atletico are one of his favorite opponents having netted 21 goals in 29 games against them in all competitions.
