On Saturday, during the late morning for US viewers, one of the biggest games of the Spanish season takes place in the city of Madrid. It's time for the Madrid Derby. In front of a home crowd at Metropolitano Stadium, Atletico will go up against fierce rivals Real. When the pair met at Atletico's ground last season, it was a 1-1 tie, before that scoreline was repeated at the inconic Santiago Bernabeu. In fact, each of the last three LaLiga renewals of this fixture have finished 1-1, while the scoreline was also 1-1 (after regulation time) when the pair met in the UEFA Champions League back in March. Will both those in attendance and those watching around the globe witness another hard-fought, tight game between two giants of the Spanish game? We'll soon find out.Limited Offer.

Atletico Madrid - Real Madrid: Form Analysis
It's been a patchy start to the season for Diego Simeone's men, there can be no denying that. First time out, Atletico were upset by Espanyol, losing by two goals to one, a result that carved out the path to back-to-back ties against Elche and Alaves. On match-day four, Atletico got up and running with a win over Villarreal, but continental success did not follow, with Simeone's team losing away to Liverpool in the UCL, before tying with Mallorca in LaLiga. Thankfully, Saturday's hosts built some momentum ahead of this huge game by beating Rayo Vallecano during the week, but again, they were far from convincing in doing so.
For the visitors, it's been a much more simplistic start to the campaign.
Under the astute management of Xabi Alonso, Los Blancos sit top of the LaLiga table having won six out of six, scoring 14 goals, conceding only three in the process. Last time out, they made light work of beating Levante and should thus go to Metropolitano Stadium feeling confident.

Atletico Madrid & Real Madrid Squad Analysis
Thiago Almada will not feature for the hosts thanks to a muscle issue. Jose Maria Gimenez also continues on the sidelines, while there are also fitness doubts surrounding summer signing Johnny Cardoso, who has missed the last few games nursing an ankle injury. Having featured as a substitute during the week, forward Giacomo Raspadori could return to the starting XI, meaning that club legend Antoine Griezmann could be set for a supporting role off the bench.
Alexander-Arnold isn't available for this matchup.
Visiting head coach Xabi Alonso will not be able to call on the services of summer signing Trent Alexander-Arnold, while the Spaniard will also be without veteran defender Antonio Rudiger. Due to a hamstring injury, midfielder Ferland Mendy is also out. Argentine 18-year-old Franco Mastantuono could continue in the starting XI following his goal last time out.

Our Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid Prediction
Let's be honest, Arda Guler looks well on his way to having a serious breakthrough season in the Spanish capital. Anyone who watched EURO 2024 saw that the youong Turkish midfielder has stacks of quality, but he's now starting to really deliver at the highest level. With Guler having caused teams lots of problems in recent weeks, you really could argue that he looks a little generously priced to score or assist against Atletico. After all, he's close to averaging a goal or an assist every game, and that's hard to ignore all the time odds of +190 are on offer.
Our Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid Pick: Arda Guler to Score or Assist.

Real Madrid to Score Over 1.5 Goals
As a secondary play, it may just be worth betting on the visitors to score a couple of goals here. After all, we're talking about a team that has scored two or more goals in each of their last six games in all competitions, while we know that they'll be happy to play on the break at times, which could upset the hosts.
Moreover, this season, the Atleti boys haven't been so strong at the back, conceding multiple goals in two of their last three games, keeping only one clean sheet in seven competitive games.
