Real Madrid-Atletico Madrid is a match in the twenty-third day of La Liga and is played on Saturday at 18:30: likely formations, predictions, TV and streaming.
Time for a derby. The one in Madrid. The one between Real and Atletico. And do you have any doubts about who will come out on top? If so, we’ll take them away from you. Despite their midweek commitment against Liverpool, the Blancos get there better, as they destroyed Klopp’s line-up and put a serious mortgage, and then some, on the passage to the round.
There are now five wins in a row for the Italian coach’s team, the last one a resounding one that has given further certainty to a formation that is aiming to place the La Liga-Champions League pairing once again, despite Barcelona being a little way off. But let’s also talk about Atletico: Simeone, perhaps, until now, is experiencing his worst season since he sat on the bench of the Colchoneros. Or at least since he too raised the bar for a club that until recently had always been behind the Spanish capital’s first team. In the last period, however, the Colchoneros have shown important signs of recovery, which can be confirmed or destroyed by Saturday afternoon’s derby. A derby which, however, has a favourite team and we also explained it to you earlier why.
The one thing that is certain, given what has been the trend in the last few meetings between the two, is that Saturday afternoon’s match will be an exciting one. A match that will give at least one goal per team. A match that will also be very tense, also because a derby is a derby and, above all, Simeone’s team needs to win at all costs in order to stay hooked on the Champions League zone. Which now, given the latest signs that have arrived, seems a little more certain. But not certain.
So, in addition to what is a final result that in any case tilts on the side of the home team, watch out for the possibility of a few red cards. It’s a hot game, which is worth as much, and we know very well that Atletico’s best weapons are strength, grit, and also the desire to bite the ball at every opportunity. Things that do not characterise Real’s DNA. The Blancos will, as usual, go all out.
Simeone
The Prediction
A match of at least one goal per team. A match that should ultimately see the stronger team come out on top. That is Real Madrid. Also watch out for the cards. They could be different and we could even see some red ones.
