Match Prediction: Atletico Madrid – Real Madrid

Goal-Scoring Tendencies of Both Teams

Both participants in the Madrid derby rarely finish a match without scoring. Atletico’s current scoring run in stands at 8 matches, and if we consider only home games, the team has found the net in 20 consecutive fixtures. However, Diego Simeone’s men often make defensive errors, which is why both teams have scored in 5 out of Atletico’s last 6 matches.

Real Madrid’s Scoring Form and Head-to-Head

Real’s scoring streak in the league has reached an impressive 23 games. While the club is typically strong defensively, keeping a clean sheet in the derby against Atletico is not always achievable. Both teams have scored in their last 6 head-to-head encounters in . The same trend was observed in 5 out of the last 7 direct meetings in played at Atletico’s home ground.

Final Prediction

I believe that this time, the clubs will once again engage in a goal-scoring exchange. My prediction: “Both Teams to Score – Yes”.
