Real Madrid vs Atletico live preview Supercopa de Espana

Real Madrid：

Real Madrid enter this Super Cup semi-final in rip-roaring form and look like the team to beat in the division. To go along with their perfect 100% winning record in the Champions League group stage, Ancelotti’s side are 15-3-1 in the Spanish top flight and tied on points atop the table with Girona. They’re riding a 19 match unbeaten run across all competitions with 16 wins and three draws. A 3-1 away win over lower-division Arandina in the Copa del Rey on the weekend means that Los Merengues have now won their last five on the spin as well. Real Madrid have now scored 27 goals and have conceded just eight over their last 10 fixtures.

Atletico：

Atletico haven’t quite hit the highs that their city rivals have as we reach the halfway mark in the campaign. Los Colchoneros are battling for a spot in the top four in La Liga, sitting fifth and even on points with fourth-place Athletic Club. Their Copa del Rey victory on the weekend marked only their second in the last five matches as they have lost twice and drawn the other. Atletico, so often renowned for their defensive tenacity under Diego Simeone, have been a much more forward-thinking side this season. However, this has led to an increase in their defensive vulnerability which has been on full display in recent outings. Atletico have now conceded 10 goals in their last five matches.

Analysis：

It's hard to look past Real Madrid's stellar form ahead of this clash with their local rivals. They'll certainly be the team with the higher confidence considering Atletico have hit a few speed bumps in the last three weeks. Additionally, the 12-time Super Cup champions should have the fresher of the two squads after the majority of them were rotated in the club's most recent cup match. Back Los Blancos to get the job done in regulation time, setting up a potential Clasico battle in the final.
