Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid

Real Madrid will put their perfect record on the line when they travel to Atletico Madrid for a Spanish La Liga fixture on Saturday.

The hosts are looking to build some momentum after an unconvincing start to the season, while the visitors have been the team to beat so far. The Madrid derby is usually an intense affair, and both teams are likely to be fired up for this one.

Atletico Madrid News

It has been a difficult start to the season for Atletico Madrid, who have picked up just two wins from their opening six La Liga matches. The good news for Diego Simeone’s team is that they have been beaten just once in the league this season.

Atletico Madrid head into Saturday's clash off the back of a 3-2 home victory over Rayo Vallecano in their previous league fixture. That result maintains an unbeaten home record, having picked up two wins and a draw from three matches in front of their fans.

The victory over Rayo Vallecano highlights a recent trend for Atletico Madrid, who appear to have lost their trademark defensive solidity. They have scored and conceded in six of their last seven matches across all competitions.

Real Madrid News

Real Madrid are enjoying an impressive start to life under manager Xabi Alonso, having won all seven of their matches across all competitions this season. They are the team to beat at the moment and currently sit two points clear at the top of the table.

Kylian Mbappe has been the star of the show so far, scoring seven times in six La Liga matches this season. The forward netted a brace on Tuesday as Real Madrid claimed a 4-1 victory at Levante in their previous league fixture.

While scoring goals has not been a problem for Real Madrid this season, they have struggled to keep things at the back. Los Blancos are without a clean sheet in four of their last five matches across all competitions.

Head to Head

Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid have picked up four wins each and as many draws in the last 12 matches. Both teams played out 1-1 draws in their two La Liga meetings last season, but the visitors won on penalties in the knockout stage of the UEFA Champions League following a 2-2 aggregate draw.

Verdict

Atletico Madrid v Real Madrid

There are usually goals in this fixture, and both teams have scored in the last 10 meetings. Real Madrid have won at least one half in four of the last five matches against Atletico Madrid and could be set for a similar pattern here.

Mbappe has looked almost unstoppable this season and will be keen to add to his seven goals so far. Having also found the net against Atletico Madrid last term, the forward could be backed to get on the score sheet once again.
