Reason for Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid Predictions
Atletico Madrid showed signs of returning to their best as they claimed a 2-0 victory at Villarreal in their previous La Liga outing. It was a solid defensive display from Atleti as they beat back several attacks from the hosts before securing the win through Alfonso Pedraza’s own goal and a Joao Felix effort. Manager Diego Simeone will view the result as a welcome return to form, having failed to secure a win in their last three matches in all competitions. They remain top of the table, five points clear of the chasing pack and still with a game in hand. Atletico boasts the best defense in La Liga, even though they have kept just one clean sheet in their last eight matches. They suffered defeat to Levante in their previous home match and will be hoping to recapture the form that has seen them claim eight wins in their last ten matches at the Wanda Metropolitano. Joao Felix enjoys the pitch, and when he receives the ball and goes towards the goal, the opponent has problems. He is strong, and it is challenging to keep this guy. Diego Simeone seeks responsibility in every game, and it doesn’t matter who the opponent is. The players have to do their best, which is why he is one of the best coaches in the world.
Real Madrid is coming off a 1-1 draw at Real Sociedad in their last La Liga fixture. They fell behind early in the second half and needed a late effort from substitute Vinicius Junior to salvage a point. The result means Real missed the chance to return to second and close the gap on Atletico to two points. As it stands, they remain third on the table, level with Barcelona and five points behind the leaders. Despite the blip on Monday, Zinedine Zidane’s men remain one of the form sides in La Liga, having won four of their last five matches. They have also been excellent on the road lately, winning their last three away fixtures. Real Madrid has been plagued by injury problems in recent weeks, with a number of senior players currently sidelined. However, they have some good news ahead of Sunday’s match with striker Karim Benzema set to return after missing Real Sociedad’s visit through injury. Casemiro has excellent ball control, he can play in several positions, and every team needs such a player. Junior Vinicius creates a lot of problems for his opponents on the right flank. It’s hard to keep this guy in a one-on-one game.
Conclusion
It will be a big battle between these two teams, and it will not be surprising if the match ends in a draw.
We can also expect a goal in both nets, and neither side should keep the clean sheet.
