Both teams are enjoying a good season so far and games like this could be decisive. Here's the preview for Real Madrid - Atlético Madrid!
- Real Madrid have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Atlético Madrid has the fewest conceded goals (2) in La Liga
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid.
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
Real Madrid form and stats
Real Madrid have played 4 La Liga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-0-2 (wins-draws-losses).
Madrid's last game was hosting Borussia M'gladbach and winning 2-0. Before that match, a La Liga win away at Sevilla.
Real Madrid's victory against Borussia M'gladbach could easily have been with a bigger margin than 2-0 as they hit the posts three times.
This is expected to be a close game, with Real Madrid perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Real Madrid as a small favourite), we find two games. Madrid has won zero of these, drawn one and lost one.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Madrid, as the La Liga home game vs Athletic Club is only three days away.
A decent goal production from Madrid in their home games so far, with 6 goals from 4 league matches. Real Madrid have conceded 4 in these home matches.
Atlético Madrid form and stats
As the visiting team in La Liga matches, Atlético Madrid, who have the fewest conceded goals (2) in La Liga, have produced an overall stat of 3-1-0 so far. Atlético have been producing wins at home as well, producing a total of seven victories in a row regardless of arena. Atlético have won three away matches in a row now and will not be intimidated by being the visitors in this fixture.
370 minutes! That's how long the Atlético goalkeeper Jan Oblak and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Atlético play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-0 victory visiting Salzburg. Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against Real Valladolid in the La Liga.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Atlético playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were zero Atlético Madrid wins, two draws and one defeat.
The schedule is very tough for Atlético now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Copa Del Rey game at Cardassar is waiting in only four days.
The travelling fans enjoy Atlético's attacking play in away games, having scored 6 goals in 4 league matches away. Atlético are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 1 away goal have been conceded so far.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Madrid, five draws and three wins for Atlético Madrid. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.Top Goalscorers
