Atletico Madrid v Real Madrid is a La Liga Week 6 match to be played on Sunday at 21:00: fixtures, predictions, TV and streaming
Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid have had a clear run so far: five league games, just as many victories for the Blancos, but now they face the game of games in La Liga: the derby against Simeone’s Atletico.
Even in the Champions League the Italian coach’s Madrid side got off to a great start, because apart from the 1-0 final against Bonucci’s Union Berlin during the week, the hosts’ performance in the new Bernabeu was one that would surely have deserved another result. little matter, the three points still went to Ancelotti, who knows very well, however, that this match is full of pitfalls. Because Atletico, as well as being a good team, arrive at this challenge with the desire to put behind them the goal scored by Provedel in the 95th minute against Lazio, which blew their first European victory.
Formation doubts there are especially for the hosts, with De Paul still expected to be out as well as Depay, two men no one can give away. But that doesn’t change our verdict for the outcome of this match: a derby is still a derby and, in general, both clubs are not having a great time. You will say, but Real Madrid have always won and you are right. But very often it has done so thanks to the play of the individual, that Bellingham who until now has always made the difference. Even beyond the 90th minute. And that tells us that a match like that could give us a draw.
The Prediction
A derby is always a derby and it delivers emotions. And right now the match could actually end in a draw. A match that at least one goal per team should give it away. And everyone happy and content, or almost happy. It would certainly suit the visitors a little better, as they would remain unbeaten and keep Simeone’s team at arm’s length.
