Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid Prediction & Betting tips
The Santiago Bernabéu Stadium will host the derby of the 23rd round of LaLiga, Spain, between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid on Saturday evening at 8:00 PM. The two rivals faced each other in the 8th round of the round, when they finished tied, 1-1, Real Madrid being the team that opened the score first in the 64th minute and Atletico Madrid equalizing in the 90th+9th minute. In recent seasons, there have been extremely balanced confrontations between the two teams, with draws but also narrow victories. One of the most spectacular matches took place in the semi-finals of the Spanish Super Cup, when after 3-3 at the end of 90 minutes, Real Madrid won 5-3 in extra time.
Real Madrid:
Real Madrid are top of the LaLiga table with 49 points, just one more than their next-to-be rivals Atletico Madrid and four more than their nearest rivals FC Barcelona. Carlo Ancelotti’s side have had a good season so far, with the only disappointment being their failure to qualify directly for the UEFA Champions League last 16, having to play Manchester City in the last 16 first. In their most recent match, Real Madrid won 3-2 against Leganes and qualified for the Copa del Rey quarter-finals. Real Madrid next face Manchester City away in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League last 16.
Atletico Madrid:
On the other hand, as I wrote above, Atletico Madrid is in 2nd place in the LaLiga standings with 48 points accumulated in 22 matches. The team coached by Diego Simeone also comes after qualifying for the Copa del Rey semi-finals, managing to win 5-0 at home against Getafe in the quarter-finals. Unlike its rival, Atletico Madrid qualified directly for the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League where they could face rival Real Madrid again, the other options being Manchester City, Celtic or Bayern Munich. Atletico Madrid’s next match will be at home against Celta Vigo.
