Game Preview
After seven straight matches and three wins in a row, Real Madrid lost. Their defeat occurred in Seville, where Betis triumphed, 2-1. Whether it was because of Jude Bellingham’s absence or something else, it wasn’t doing any good before the clash with Atletico.
Real plays well at home, and they have one tie with five wins in the last six appearances at Bernabeu. That sole match in which the UCL champions haven’t won was against Atletico, 1-1.

Atletico Madrid isn’t winning often these days, but they sure aren’t losing at all. The Mattress Makers have only one defeat in the past 26 matches on all fronts.
What makes things a bit sore is the fact that Diego Simeone’s crew managed to record only two triumphs in the recent five matches, along with three ties.

Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid Predictions
Don’t expect too many goals here. The stakes are high, plus these two teams know one another very well. We pick under 2.5 hits. Diego Simeone will probably park the bus in front of his goal.
