With so much riding on this game, we can expect a thriller here to close a weekend of exciting derbies across Europe. Our preview and bet tips today will turn the spotlight on 22Bet App and Yangasport prices.
REAL MADRID
Real have been in tremendous form to begin the season. A 2-0 win over Inter Milan in their final Champions League was their ninth successive win across all competitions, a run that has seen them catapult to the top of La Liga and through to the round of 16 in the Champions League as group winners.
It’s not just the winning but how they are doing it that is really captivating. Carlo Ancelotti has built an offensive juggernaut on his second coming to the club. They have scored an impressive 37 goals in their 16 league games thus far, which is 10 goals than the 2nd best attack in the league that just happens to be the visitors.
Unfortunately for Ancelotti, he is likely to be without his leading goal-getter, the evergreen Kareem Benzema who is nursing a thigh injury. That said, he still has great depth in the squad and will push to create an even bigger cushion at the top with a win here.
ATLETICO MADRID
Atletico’s defence of their La Liga title has literally been non-existent this season. They have wildly inconsistent, failing to win back to back league games since winning the first two to open the new season. Their return of 29 points from 15 games has them sitting in 4th place, 10 points adrift of the hosts, albeit with a game in hand.
The one glaring drop-off from their title-winning season has been their defensive frailty. Diego Simeone sides have always been built on the back of solid defenses but their start to the season has been anything but solid. They have only kept two clean sheets in their last 11 games.
That said, they showed terrific determination to salvage their Champions League campaign that looked dead in the water coming into the last round matches. Simeone will be looking to build on that here.

REAL MADRID VS ATLETICO MADRID PREDICTIONS
Real Madrid have been making mincemeat of their opponents but as always, the Madrid derby is a different kettle of fish altogether. Their recent meetings have been incredibly close and despite Atleti’s struggles on the defensive end this season, they will turn it up a notch here. Reals offensive outbursts have been majorly driven by the incredible form Benzema has been in. Now that he is set to miss, they could potentially find it hard to carve open a well-drilled Atletic defence. The last 5 straight derbies have been pretty low scoring and given the stakes at play here, we anticipate another low scoring encounter and for our opening tip, we are going for Under 2.5 Goals @ 1.86 with Yangasport Nigeria.
As is tradition for most derbies, there is no love between these two teams. Cards should definitely be on the agenda here. Atleti have picked up at least 3 bookings in their last 4 straight H2H games. A repeat of that here pays @ 1.53 with 22Bet First Deposit Bonus and we are snapping it up as our final La Liga prediction.
