Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid Predictions & Betting Tips (Copa del Rey)
by Devesh Jaganath |
The Santiago Bernabeu will be the venue for the latest installment of the Madrid Derby this Thursday, when Athletico Madrid makes the short trip across town to take on hometown rivals, Real Madrid, in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey. Following a weak display in El Classico a couple of weeks ago, Los Blancos have responded with back-to-back wins over Athletic Bilbao and Villareal in the Round of 16. In league terms, Real Madrid has been performing slightly below their own high standards but remains just three points behind Barcelona at the top and 10 clear of their opponents. The last time these two met was in La Liga in September 2022, and Real Madrid came away with a 2-1 victory. Real Madrid is on an excellent home run, undefeated in their last 10; however, they did concede in nine of those matches.
Athletico Madrid's season has been average to date, having dropped points in several matches that they would have been expecting to take the maximum from. They have shown glimpses of finding their form in the last couple of weeks and come into this match following consecutive wins over Real Valladolid and Levante. Chances of challenging for the title this season seem to be unlikely for Diego Simeone, but a win over their old foes may give them the boost in confidence they need to close the gap on sides above them. Athletico Madrid is currently fourth in the league, with 31 points in 18 matches, level with Villareal and seven behind Real Sociedad in third. The visitors are always competitive in this fixture, as they showed in the last match at this ground, where they came away with a 1-0 victory.

Our Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid prediction
Los Blancos will go into this match as the bookmaker's overwhelming favourite but we expect the contest to be much closer than the odds suggest. Clean sheets have been rare for Real Madrid this season, and Athletico Madrid has shown that their defensive solidity may be returning, keeping two clean sheets coming into this match. However, the home side’s attacking strength may be enough to get them through, and we fancy them to manage a narrow win. Our Real Madrid v Athletico Madrid prediction is for Real Madrid to win by one goal.
