Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
There will be fireworks when Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid face each other in the Madrid derby at Estadio Wanda Metropolitano. Los Rojiblancos are giving their best to make it to the Champions League, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in the local derby. Diego Simeone should opt to make changes to the team that suffered a 2-0 loss to Athletic Club, with all De Paul, Koke, and Correa pushing for a start. The good news for the hosts is that defender Stefan Savic is back from suspension.
Los Blancos, on the other hand, clinched a record-extending 35th La Liga trophy thanks to a 4-0 triumph over Espanyol. Carlo Ancelotti’s men have little to play for in the season finale, and seeing that they head into Sunday’s derby following the Champions League clash with Man City, home win should be considered. All David Alaba, Eden Hazard, Gareth Bale, and Luka Jovic are likely to miss the game with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Luis Suarez):
Luis Suarez is a controversial footballer who plays for La Liga side Barcelona as a striker. The Uruguayan forward moved to Europe in 2006, signing a deal with Groningen. After scoring 10 goals in 27 league appearances for the club in the 2006/2007 Eredivisie campaign, he joined Ajax at the end of the season. The prolific striker scored no less than 81 goals in 110 appearances for Ajax and, as a result, Liverpool chiefs decided to sign him on 31 January 2011.
Suarez became the club’s most expensive signing and he was producing thrilling performances with the Anfield outfit between 2011 and 2014. Liverpool were on the verge of winning the 2013/2014 Premier League trophy, but Steven Gerrard slipped in the decider against Chelsea and they eventually finished the season in second place in the standings.
In 2014 Suarez joined Barcelona and he was the top scorer in the 2015/2016 La Liga campaign. He won the 2013/2014 Premier League Golden Boot as well and in 2011 he clinched the Copa America trophy with Uruguay.
Highlighted Team (Real Madrid):
Real Madrid is a Spanish football club based in Madrid. Real Madrid participate in La Liga (Primera Division) and they have won 32 domestic titles. On the other hand, los Blancos have won 13 European Cup titles and that is the main reason why they are considered the biggest football club in the world.
Real Madrid play their home matches at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu and the capacity of the stadium is 84,454. Cristiano Ronaldo is the club’s most successful footballer in the 21st century and the Portuguese superstar has won two Golden Ball awards.
The likes of Alfredo Di Stefano, Zinedine Zidane, Raul Gonzalez Blanco, David Beckham and Iker Casillas are star players who were part of the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu outfit in the past. Real Madrid’s bitterest rivals are Barcelona, but the rivalry between local rivals Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid is big as well. Real Madrid’s home kit is white and, as a result, the team’s nickname is los Blancos (the Whites).
