Atletico vs Real Madrid Preview: Team News, Possible Lineups And Predictions

Atletico vs Real Madrid Preview: Real will be looking to continue their winning streak to make it seven wins against Atletico in the league.

Currently leading the La Liga standings with a full 15 points from their initial five games, Los Blancos seem to be in top form.
Contrastingly, Atletico occupies the seventh position with seven points from four games.

Team News:

For the upcoming derby against the league frontrunners, Atletico Madrid will miss the services of players such as Thomas Lemar, Caglar Soyuncu, Reinildo, and Barrios.

On the other hand, Real Madrid will continue to play without Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao, both sidelined because of prolonged knee injuries.

Additionally, Dani Carvajal won’t be participating due to a more severe than anticipated muscular issue.

Predictions:

Although the current stats suggest a potential victory for the visitors, Real securing another win wouldn’t be unexpected.

However, while Ancelotti’s squad has been consistent, they haven’t been overwhelmingly dominant. Given Simeone’s strategic approach, we predict a draw in the upcoming derby on Sunday.
