Atletico Madrid host bitter city rivals Real Madrid in LaLiga on Sunday night in El Derbi Madrileno, a match in which Carlo Ancelotti's team will be hoping to continue their 100% record in the league.
Teams: Atletico vs Real
Time: 21:00
Venue: Metropolitano Stadium
The Madrid derby has typically been a low-scoring affair in recent times, with less than three goals being scored in seven of their last seven meetings in all competitions.
Ancelotti, however, might feel confident that his side can claim all three points on Sunday considering Atletico's form. Diego Simeone's team haven't kept a clean sheet in their past four matches.
Real, meanwhile, go into this weekend's match on a nine-game winning streak, while they have not suffered a defeat in any of their last 10 matches in a run that extends to last season.
The 14-time UEFA Champions League winners have scored more than two goals in six of their last seven matches across all platforms, while they have been the first team to score in five of their last six games.
Real did, though, lose to Los Rojiblancos just four months ago in LaLiga at the Metropolitano Stadium.
Star striker and Ballon d'Or favourite Karim Benzema is a doubt for Sunday's encounter through injury, while Atletico could be without first-choice goalkeeper Jan Oblak.
Brazilian winger Vinicius Junior has been in sensational form since the 2022/23 campaign got underway, contributing to eight goals in as many games.
