Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid prediction, odds and preview

On Saturday night, Real Madrid will host Atletico Madrid in Spain’s top division for the most recent iteration of the Madrid derby at the Bernabeu.

Atletico Madrid is currently in fourth place, barely four points ahead of Real Betis in the battle for the top four, while the home team is currently in second place, eight points behind division leaders Barcelona.

As Barcelona and the capital heavyweights compete for three major trophies in the last months of the season, Ancelotti’s club will also be focused on their Copa del Rey semi-final first leg on March 2.

Simeone’s future as head coach continues to be called into question, with the Argentine thought to be considering leaving his position at the end of the campaign.

There is no getting away from the fact that it has been a disappointing season for Colchoneros, but they have the fourth-best away record in La Liga this season, winning seven of their 11 matches, collecting 23 points in the process.
