Football Results

After Real and Atletico measured forces in the European Super Cup, Atletico was more successful than Real then, but Real has opened the new championship better and they are undefeated until the previous round. Atletico has made only one triumph in the first four rounds, but they are now in a series of three victories, one of which happened in the Champions League. Last season both of duels between Real and Atletico ended unresolved.

Real Madrid

It can be said that Real has so far won the matches in which they were the absolute favourites and were expected to triumph, while in all more difficult matches they played as guests, they were left without a win. This applies to that lost trophy in the Super Cup, from Atletico, as well as their two championship performances.

First against Athletic in Bilbao, where they played 1-1, and the second in Sevilla on Wednesday, where they played their worst match, and as a result of such a bad game is a defeat with 3-0. They have made numerous mistakes in midfield, but their rivals were also giving them the opportunities that the guests did not use in their favour, so the final result was set after the first half-time. The absence of Carvajal was certainly felt in their game, but he should now return, with the proviso that Marcelo is now injured, and he will not be able to play, as well as midfielder Isco.

Probable lineups Real Madrid: Courtois – Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Nacho – Casemiro, T.Kroos, Modric – Bale, Benzema, Asensio

Atletico Madrid

Despite the fact that they have won the European Super Cup, the start of the season was bad for Atletico. It was not expected that there would be so many problems in the championship, but they have made only one triumph in the first four rounds, against Rayo Vallecana on their field with a minimum of 1-0. They looked especially bad against Vigo, where Celta celebrated with 2-0. They were replaced by Valencia and then they were rescuing one point against Eibar in Madrid, so they had seven points backlog for Barcelona.

It seemed they will be eliminated already in the early stages of the race for the title of the championship, however, Atletico has started to play better, their two biggest rivals were bad in some matches and Atletico is now only two points behind the leading duo. Their series is three games, because they defeated Monaco in the Champions League, and then also Getafe and Huesca without a goal received, and that is Atletico to which they are used to. The biggest problem for coach Simeone is defence, because Savic is injured, and Gimenez has problems, but he should be ready for this match. Juanfran, Rodri, L.Hernandez and Saul Niguez are returning after the break.

Probable lineups Atletico Madrid: Oblak – Juanfran, Godin, Gimenez, L.Hernandez – Saul Niguez, Rodri, Koke, Lemar – D.Costa, Griezmann

Verdict:

Defeat in Sevilla has probably shaken the team of Real and their self-confidence is shaken, so we believe that Atletico can be equal and certainly achieve a goal at Santiago Bernabeu. Real also wants to redeem to their fans and they should be more concrete in attack than they are now.
