Atletico

The team sets records – no one keeps the head coach in one position for so long. At the same time, it is more necessary to talk about stability than about loud successes – it has been quite a long time since it has been possible to take a new title. Moreover, in 2023/2024, even Girona conceded third place. But then it turned out, against the background of huge expenses, only to return to the top-3 in the Premier League – but even there they conceded to Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​and lost to them in other tournaments.

Now there was a rather weak start, including in the Champions League. But then, it seemed, they managed to gain good momentum – there was a moment when, with a victory over Barcelona, ​​they would have even topped the table. But they conceded in Catalonia as well, and immediately after that they lost to the unstable Atlético. Then there were four consecutive victories in various tournaments, but January began only with a draw against Real Sociedad.

Real Madrid

The club returned to its peak under Ancelotti – even won the treble. But last season, even after adding a star like Mbappe, they did not win anything after the UEFA Super Cup and the Intercontinental Cup – they lost to Barcelona everywhere in the domestic tournament, and were eliminated from Arsenal in the Champions League.

As a result, at the end of spring, the Spaniards, having parted with Carlo under a valid pretext, returned Xabi Alonso to Madrid, but already as a head coach. The results, however, are quite contradictory, from the relegation from PSG at the summer club world championship to the lost leadership in the Premier League – Barcelona are four points behind. Although in the last round there was a 5:1 victory over strong Betis.

Statistics of personal meetings

In the last eleven face-to-face matches, Real Madrid won only once. And in both extreme derbies, victories went to Atletico.

Forecast

Bookmakers consider the pair’s chances to be roughly equal. Here we limit ourselves to a bet on a neutral total of more than 2.5 goals (coefficient – 1.75).
