A must-watch match, the Madrid derby always presents surprises and drama on the field.
Yes, even though on paper Ancelotti's squad is superior, we know that Simeone's troops are not just any club, they are highly regarded in the La Liga competition and are certainly strong candidates.
Playing at home, of course ATM wants good results and on the one hand Real Madrid also doesn't want to be embarrassed.
A difficult match to predict, we'll see who will play better later.
I feel that Real Madrid will win this derby because their performance is indeed better than Atletico Madrid. Their front line is indeed not at its best yet, but from what I see they are on fire and are quite productive so far. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid have looked shaky in their last 2 matches. They could only draw against Rayo Vallecano and although they managed to get a win against Celta Vigo afterward, but they didn't really dominate the game. Atletico Madrid were quite lucky that Celta Vigo did not have a good finishing touch.
The Civitas Metropolitano Stadium will witness who is the strongest in the first Madrid Derby of the season. Atletico and Real Madrid are both unbeaten in La Liga since the start of the season. The difference is, Atletico have won four and draw three, while Madrid have won five and draw two. Both teams also managed to win their last matches, Atletico have scored 11 goals and conceded three, while Madrid have scored 16 goals and conceded five. Real Madrid cannot play Mbappe in this Derby due to an injury he suffered in the previous match, his loss is Atletico gain.
