The Matchday 7 La Liga clash between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid will take place on September 27 at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium. Atletico Madrid vs. Real Madrid: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Atletico Madrid
At the start of the current La Liga season, the team is facing significant challenges. Last Wednesday, Atletico narrowly secured three points in the derby against Rayo Vallecano, marking only their second win in the first six rounds of the championship. Despite this, the club has suffered only one defeat in La Liga, with half of their matches ending in draws. Diego Simeone's side is unbeaten in five consecutive league matches (2 wins, 3 draws). Atletico has accumulated nine points and is currently in 8th place in the standings.
- The team has won six of their last seven home games in La Liga.
- The club's scoring streak in this tournament has lasted eight matches.
- At least two goals have been scored in Atletico's last eight home league games.
Predicted lineup for Atletico Madrid (5-3-2)
Jan Oblak – Nahuel Molina, Marcos Llorente, Robin Le Normand, David Gantzko, Javi Galan – Pablo Barrios, Koke, Conor Gallagher – Antoine Griezmann, Julian Alvarez.
Due to injuries, midfielders Thiago Almada and Johnny Cardoso, as well as defender Jose Maria Gimenez, will not be available for the team. Forward Alexander Sorloth has served his suspension.
Real Madrid
Xabi Alonso's side remains the only team that has not dropped any points in the current La Liga campaign. Recently, the club thrashed Levante, extending their winning streak in the league to nine matches. Although Real failed to keep a clean sheet in that match, they are considered one of the most reliable teams in the championship: Madrid has conceded only three goals in six rounds – the fewest of any club.
- Real has scored at least two goals in 10 of their last 11 league matches.
- The team has won seven of their last eight away games in this tournament.
- At least two goals have been scored in 21 of Real's last 24 away league matches.
Predicted lineup for Real Madrid (3-4-3)
Thibaut Courtois – Dean Heysen, Raul Asensio, Alvaro Carreras – Franco Mastantuono, Dani Ceballos, Federico Valverde, Fran Garcia – Arda Guler, Vinicius Junior, Kylian Mbappe.
Defenders Trent Alexander-Arnold, Antonio Rudiger, and Ferland Mendy are recovering from injuries.
Match Prediction: Atletico Madrid vs. Real Madrid
Both participants in the Madrid derby rarely finish a match without scoring a goal. Atletico's current scoring streak in La Liga spans eight matches, and if we consider strictly home games, the team has scored in 20 consecutive matches. Meanwhile, Diego Simeone's side regularly makes defensive errors, resulting in both teams scoring in five of Atletico's last six league matches.
Real's scoring streak in the championship has reached 23 games. Although the club is usually reliable in defense, they often struggle to keep a clean sheet in derbies against Atletico. Both teams have scored in their last six head-to-head league meetings. The same trend was observed in five of their last seven encounters in La Liga at Atletico's home ground.
I believe the teams will once again exchange goals this time. Prediction: Both teams to score – Yes
