The stay did not come one day early for neither Atlético Madrid nor Real Madrid, both of which had fundamental problems during the season – and already, when Primera División is 11 consecutive years, they are both eight points hunters behind Serie-led Barcelona and Valencia is also found above them.
In the future, only threes count – otherwise the title flow may be extinguished within a decent card.
The main problem for Atlético Madrid has been their goalkeeper and the absence of match winners who step forward. Several cross matches that, on the paper, should have become thorns; 6-5-0 in the goal line. If we look at the Champions League, it seems that the final game will be missed.
Real Madrid scored a fresh win via home 3-0 against Las Palmas before the break, but came from two straight losses – one against Girona in the series and others against Tottenham in CL. The latter tournament is at least bright for the playoffs.
Gareth Bale is still injured for the “Marängen” and besides him, Daniel Carvajal, Mateo Kovacic and Keylor Navas risk losing the match. Atlético has the squad intact.

Measure in both directions
The first derby these two between at Wanda Metropolitan. It will be a special match in several ways. And our thoughts on it? That it can be quite entertaining.
At home, Atlético Madrid has to set the target for the three, even – if not above all – against the top competitors. And given the situation of both parties in the table, Real Madrid is also pressured to win. Two teams really go for it?
Full roll, that’s what we’re waiting for this superderby …
Real Madrid also does not feel particularly stable in the defensive, while they have the playing material to break down any defense in the world. In combination with an Atlético we can assume to be a little lower in the positions and primarily try versus effectively, an open match image can wait.
Three of Atletico’s four last matches have scored goals in both directions. The statistics for Real Madrid are 7/10
last.

Our Prediction: Both teams to score / YES / @ 1.80
