Atlético Madrid come into the match on the back of a 1-1 draw at Lazio in the Champions League on Tuesday night. It appeared Atlético Madrid were going to come away with maximum points but there was a shock in added time as the Lazio goalkeeper headed home the equaliser.
The draw in Italy means Atlético Madrid have failed to win their last 2 matches in all competitions having been defeated 3-0 at Valencia last weekend in La Liga.
Atlético Madrid have won only 2 of their 5 fixtures this season, with the wins coming over Granada at home and Rayo Vallecano away in La Liga, the latter of which was a tremendous 7-0 victory.
Trends show Atlético Madrid are unbeaten in 26 of their 29 most recent matches and they are undefeated in each of their last 12 home games in La Liga.
Keeping a clean sheet has been a problem at home in recent league matches and Atlético Madrid have conceded goals in 5 of their last 6 La Liga games on home soil.
Real Madrid make the short journey to the Estadio Civitas Metropolitano having beat Union Berlin 1-0 at home in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
It was not a great performance from Real Madrid and they needed a goal in added time to beat the Champions League debutants.
The win over Union Berlin means Real Madrid have won all 6 of their competitive fixtures in all competitions this season. They have won all 5 of their La Liga games, with the wins coming over Athletic Club, Almeria, and Celta Vigo away plus Getafe and Real Sociedad at home.
Trends show Real Madrid are undefeated in 9 of their last 10 La Liga fixtures. They have won each of their last 4 away games in the league and have a good record over Atlético Madrid. In fact, Real Madrid haven't been defeated by Atlético Madrid in 37 of their last 42 La Liga matches.
Team news and Atlético Madrid have a significant injury list, with Thomas Lemar, Rodrigo De Paul, Çağlar Söyüncü, Memphis Depay, Koke, Machín Pérez, and Reinildo Mandava all unavailable for this game.
Real Madrid have four players in the treatment room, with Daniel Carvajal, Vinícius Júnior, Éder Militão, and Thibaut Courtois injured.
This is a fantastic game to finish the weekend in La Liga and Atlético Madrid will be aiming to make it as difficult as possible for Real Madrid.
However, Atlético Madrid have a poor recent record against Real Madrid and with so many key midfielders unavailable, it could be Real Madrid who come out on top, winning by a single goal.
