Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid Predictions
- Real Madrid have won eight of their ten home league games this season
- Atletico Madrid have failed to net in just one of their last 10 away fixtures
- Real are on a run of just one defeat in ten to their cross-city rivals
Real searching for bragging rights
Real Madrid have responded well to losing to Barcelona in the Super Cup final, beating Villarreal 3-2 on the road before winning 2-0 against Athletic Bilbao, also away from home.Carlo Ancelotti’s side have have been strong in the capital as well, winning eight of their ten outings at the Bernabeu this season, despite keeping only one clean sheet.
Indeed, both teams have scored in nine of their ten fixtures at home, as they have in 10 of their last 13 matches at all venues.
Can Atletico progress?
It would therefore be something of an upset if Atletico were to win this one, as backed up by the fact they have beaten their Spanish capital rivals just once in their last ten head-to-head meetings.Diego Simeone’s side should trouble Los Blancos, though, especially as they have netted in nine of their last ten away fixtures.
Five of those games have seen both teams score, but they have also lost five of their last 15 on the road, winning just seven.
I predict that Real Madrid will win this game with both teams scoring, with 2-1 to Real my correct score prediction.
