Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid 18.09.2022

Real Madrid’s perfect start to the season faces another hurdle when they travel to face City rivals Atletico Madrid in Sunday’s derby. With a combination of goal-scoring prowess and midfield brilliance, Real Madrid’s push for another league triumph seem to be gathering momentum as Ancelotti’s men have earned 5 wins in their last 5 league games. They head into this tie on the back of an impressive form in front of goal, earning them a comeback victory in their 4-1 over Mallorca

For Atletico, they will look to earn back-to-back wins over Real having won 1-0 in their last encounter. To replicate their 2020/21 title-winning, Simeone’s men will be gunning for their 4th league win this season having clinched 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the last 5 games.

Although Real are in perfect league form heading into this tie, a Madrid derby is usually a tough nut to crack. To this end, we expect a feisty contest between both sides with the opening half ending in a draw.
