Real Madrid v Atletico Madrid Preview and Prediction

Date/Time: 29^th September 2018 (Kick-off 7:45 PM)

On Saturday night, fierce rivals Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid meet in the Madrid derby at the Bernabeu.

The two teams are very close to each other in the league table. Real Madrid are currently second place in the table, two points clear of the third-place Atletico who started the campaign in poor fashion.

Real Madrid missed the chance to move to the top of La Liga on Wednesday night, as they suffered a 3-0 defeat at Sevilla. The loss saw the end of a seven-match undefeated run for the team from the capital in La Liga.

The home side has won their last five home games in La Liga, while also scoring at least two goals in four of their last five outings on home soil.

Atletico Madrid heads into this game on the back of victories over Getafe and Huesca in their last two La Liga outings. The visitors are famous for their low scoring games and they have lived up to their reputation of late in La Liga, with four of their last five games producing under 2.5 goals.

A record of just three away wins in nine La Liga outings is not a great one. However, Diego Simeone’s side won their last away game in La Liga 2-0 at Getafe.

Prediction

Draw and/ or under 2.5 goals
