While Real Madrid have been playing its way into form lately, they suffered two key losses earlier this week, as both David Alaba and Rodrygo were ruled out against Atletico due to injury. That said, Real are coming off an awe-inspiring 5-2 win over Liverpool in the Champions League, that saw them storm back to a 2-0 deficit thanks to braces from Vinicius Jr. and Karim Benzema.
That said, Atletico's strength is in the back, as Los Colchoneros haven't conceded more than two goals in their last 10 La Liga matches. With a spot in the Champions League in their sights, Atletico will try to control the pace of the match and should be content walking away with a point.
