Atletico Madrid News and Form – Can Atletico beat Real in the Madrid derby?
It has been a good return of W4 D1 L1 this season from Atletico Madrid. They are, as expected, undefeated on home soil with a W2 D1 record at the Metropolitano. They were out in action in midweek and collected a 2-0 victory at Mallorca. Atleti needed that too with a failure to win in their previous two games. They had failed to hit the back of the net in those two games as well. But Atletico do have firepower in their ranks with Diego Costa, Alvaro Morata, Vitolo and Joao Felix knocking around. Defensively they have been on point again. Atletico have four clean sheets in their six games this term.
Summer signing Joao Felix has scored a couple for the season, making a good start to his Atletico career. He’s such a big player for them and needs to control the midfield. Atletico have tallied seven league goals this season which is well down on Real’s total of 12. The two wins at home that Atletico have taken have been by one goal margin. The two goals that hey have shipped on home soil have been in the first half of matches. It is a ten-match undefeated streak of league home form that Atletico are ticking over on (W8 D2). They have conceded in just three of their last ten. Atletico have suffered one defeat in their last 23 league home games. The one loss was again, yes, Real.

Real Madrid News and Form – Will Real Madrid win at Atletico?
Well for a club that is supposed to be heading into turmoil, Los Blancos are sitting top of La Liga. They reached the summit in midweek with an easy 2-0 home win over Osasuna. Real Madrid rested a handful of key players for that one as well, probably with this fixture in mind. That victory moved them on to a three-match winning streak. They have also taken back to back clean sheets. Real are now at W4 D2 for the season in the league and out on the road are W2 D1, the victories coming over Celta Vigo and Sevilla.
Real Madrid haven’t really been there in stunning performances or anything like that. They have looked unspectacular, but if the results come, who cares? They are starting to get some players back to full fitness after injury so they should get stronger too. A win at Atletico on the weekend would make a huge statement in the title race this season. Five of the league goals that Real Madrid have shipped this season have been after half time. Real Madrid are unbeaten in three away games but have just two wins in their last top eight La Liga road games. Top scorer in the top flight for them is Karim Benzema with 5.

Atletico Madrid v Real Madrid Predictions
Atletico to win: Home advantage could be key to this one. Diego Simeone’s Atletico are so good at the back, and even though Real Madrid are top of the league, they haven’t been playing incredible stuff. Atleti can figure out a way to break them and they should have the edge in the middle of the park. Home win.
