Prediction: 1-0
Atletico Madrid
There will be fireworks when Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid face each other in “El Madrileno” on Saturday afternoon. Los Blancos are eyeing their third consecutive league win, and the good news for the hosts is that Karim Benzema is back from injury. Even though Tchouameni, Diaz, Kroos, and Mendy remain in the recovery room, we are tempted to put our money on Carlo Ancelotti’s troops as they are eager to melt Barcelona’s advantage in the La Liga table.
Meanwhile, los Rojiblancos defeated Athletic Club thanks to Antoine Griezmann’s goal, with the team retaining their spot in top four. Real Madrid, though, want this win more than Atletico Madrid; therefore, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the local derby. As for the visiting side, Thomas Lemar is a major doubt, and the French midfielder will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. Defender Stefan Savic is back from suspension.
Highlighted Player (Luka Modric):
Luka Modric is regarded as one of the best central midfielders in world football. The Croatian ace is a product of Dinamo Zagreb’s youth school and it has to be noted that he played 94 league games for the Modri between 2003 and 2008. In 2008 he signed a six-year deal with Tottenham Hotspur for a fee of £16.5 million.
Luka made his Tottenham debut on 16 August, 2008 in a 2-1 loss to Middlesbrough at Riverside Stadium. The Croatian star scored only 13 goals in 127 league appearances for the Spurs, but he is well known for his brilliant passing. In 2012 he signed for Real Madrid for a fee of £30 million and he made his debut against Barcelona in the 2012 Spanish Super Cup, return leg.
Modric quickly established himself as a first-team regular and, no doubt, he helped the capital club win two Champions League trophies (2013/2014, 2015/2016). You should bear in mind that he was named Croatian Footballer of the Year in 2007, 2008, 2011 and 2014.
Highlighted Team (Atletico Madrid):
Atletico Madrid are a Spanish team that plays in Primera Division (La Liga). Los Rojiblancos or los Colchoneros play their home matches at Estadio Vicente Calderon, which holds up to 54,960 spectators. Atletico Madrid have won 10 La Liga titles, but they have yet to lift the European Cup (Champions League) trophy.
Los Rojiblancos have won 10 Copa del Rey (Spanish Cup) trophies and it has to be noted that they defeated their bitter local rivals Real Madrid in the 2012/2013 Spanish Cup final. The rivalry between the two capital clubs is pretty big and El Madrileno is regarded as one of the most exciting derbies in the world football.
Atletico Madrid played two Champions League finals under Diego Simeone, but they failed to beat Real Madrid in the title games (2013/2014 and 2015/2016). However, the Argentine tactician helped Atletico Madrid win the La Liga trophy in 2014 and, no doubt, he is one of the most successful coaches in the history of the capital club.
