Real Madrid vs Atletico live preview

Real Madrid are being pushed hard in their quest to reclaim the La Liga title, but not by a familiar source. Los Blancos‘ 2-0 win over Getafe on Thursday saw them return to the summit, but only two points clear of surprise package Girona, who are refusing to blink having lost just once all season. Carlo Ancelotti’s men head into this derby on a run of 10 wins from their last 11 across all competitions, but will be aware of the fact that one defeat came in the Copa del Rey against this weekend’s opposition.

Atletico Madrid would love to score a hit against their city rivals, not only to dent their title hopes, but also to bring themselves back into the race. Diego Simeone’s side are 10 points adrift of Real at present but have won four of their last five La Liga matches; the sole defeat in that time coming against that impressive Girona outfit.

it is tough to back Atletico due to their away struggles this season, especially considering Real Madrid's form at home. This is set to be a cagey affair, and we are expecting the points to be shared on Sunday night, which would be a positive result for both sides under the circumstances.
