Real Madrid is set to unfold on September 29, 2024. Both teams remain unbeaten in La Liga this season, adding to the match's intensity and significance . Atlético Madrid enters the contest coming off a recent match against Celta Vigo, which may impact their stamina compared to Real Madrid, who have had a longer recovery period . Key absences will shape both squads; notably, Kylian Mbappé is sidelined with a thigh injury for Real Madrid while Thomas Lemar returns for Atlético after a lengthy absence.
Hansi Flick's winning Barcelona machine. Atletico are two points behind their city rivals after four wins and three draws in seven outings but will leapfrog them with victory at the Metropolitano.
Real Madrid predicted XI: Courtois, Carvajal, Militao, Rudiger, Mendy, Tchouameni, Modric, Valverde, Bellingham, Rodrygo, Vinicius.
Atletico de Madrid predicted XI: Oblak, Llorente, Le Normand, Reinildo, Gimenez, Riquelme, Koke, Gallagher, De Paul, Griezmann, Alvarez.
Real Madrid will need to capitalize on the few scoring chances they create against Atletico’s defensive system, and then Los Blancos will also need to match the physicality of Simeone’s midfield if they want the three points.
Defensively, Thibaut Courtois has been solid in goal, letting in only five goals in the first seven matches. However, Carlo Ancelotti knows that facing Atlético at their home ground is no easy feat. In his 22 previous encounters as Madrid’s coach against Atlético, Ancelotti has recorded eight wins, six draws, and eight losses, showing just how tight these matchups usually are.
