Real Madrid has been facing a tough time in their away matches recently, managing to gather just one point from the last 27 available and allowing 23 goals during these dismal performances.
On the other hand, Atlético Madrid has been formidable at home, securing 16 victories from their past 19 LaLiga games.
Traditionally, the matchups between Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid have been low-scoring, with fewer than 3.5 goals scored in 13 of their last 14 league encounters.
The only exception was when Atlético Madrid defeated Real Madrid at their home stadium last November. Atlético has consistently maintained this trend, with no more than three goals scored in their last 16 home LaLiga games.
Despite their defensive woes, Real Madrid has remained a potent threat offensively, scoring and conceding in 13 of their last 17 LaLiga matches, which suggests their games tend to be competitive.
Atlético Madrid has also struggled to keep clean sheets, with goals scored by both teams in 12 of their last 15 top-flight matches.
Prediction
Considering recent trends, Atlético Madrid’s last 12 LaLiga matches have predominantly featured under 3.5 goals, including their last four games.
Real Madrid shows a similar pattern with 17 of their last 19 league games also witnessing fewer than four goals. It’s likely that this encounter will continue in the same vein.
Prediction: Atlético Madrid 1, Real Madrid 1
