So far, Madrid can still win even though they are not supported by a number of important players Thibaut Courtois, Arda Guler, Eder Militao and Vinicius Jr. I predict that the derby match will be won by Los Blancos, even though it is a narrow victory.
Real Madrid actually have better form than Atletico Madrid even they did not have some important players in latest matches. They can continue their good form without Jude Bellingham and I believe Carlo Ancelotti can have good alternative solutions for a squad without Jude.
I think Ancelotti already knows how to overcome Atletico Madrid and maybe it won't be an obstacle for Madrid to maintain their winning streak in Laliga this season, even though Bellingham will probably be absent. I think Ancelotti has a special strategy to steal victory from this Derby match, even if it only wins narrowly getting at least three points is the main goal to maintain Madrid's position at the top of the standings.
Playing at home certainly makes Atletico Madrid's strength better and will make it difficult for Madrid to steal the three points and get a win there, but I am confident that Madrid will take home the three points from this match because they will maintain their winning ways. My prediction is that Madrid will win by two goals against Atletico Madrid.
