Real Madrid does not remember its visit to Atletico fondly earlier in the season when it was crushed 2:5 at the "Metropolitano". However, as a host, it has not lost to this opponent for ten years now and will try to take revenge for the loss. It must do so if it does not want to fall further behind the top, from which it is four points away before this round. The mood is upbeat after eliminating Man. City in the Champions League, and Real seems to be back on its feet with four consecutive victories in all competitions. The good news is that Kylian Mbappe has returned to play, but the bad news is the injury to goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who will be out for some time.
Atletico Madrid is also expected to be without its starting goalkeeper Jan Oblak. His substitute, Juan Musso, has been performing well lately. However, Atletico's away performances continue to be inconsistent and not so strong. They rarely have strong matches away, which is a problem. There is only one win in their last five away visits in all competitions, and it came hard against the bottom-placed Oviedo.
Prediction: both teams to scoreI don't think Atletico will win this match, but I believe they can score a goal. Both teams are regularly involved in high-scoring matches and matches with goals at both ends, so I’m going with both teams to score in this clash.
