Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid Preview and Team News

Atletico Madrid Team News

Diego Simeone will be hopeful that the Spanish Super Cup can serve as a morale booster ahead of the remainder of the La Liga season. Atletico Madrid have endured a frustrating campaign to date, winning just 11 of their 19 league fixtures. 

The Spanish side looked sluggish on their return to action following the winter break, settling for a 1-1 draw with Real Sociedad. Atletico recorded just two shots on target, and Llorente and Ruggeri were slow to join attacks from the full-back positions. 

Barrios is a significant absence this week, as the midfielder was forced off at half-time last weekend. Gallagher is set to replace the Argentine. Lenglet will also be missing for this semifinal clash due to injury. 

Atletico Madrid predicted lineup vs Real Madrid (4-4-2): Oblak; Llorente, Pubill, Hancko, Ruggeri; Baena, Gallagher, Koke, Simeone; Alvarez, Griezmann.

Real Madrid Team News

Xabi Alonso remains under pressure at the Bernabeu, but winning the Super Cup could ease his position slightly. Los Blancos made an excellent return to action last weekend, looking much sharper in the final third following the winter break. 

Garcia was the unlikely hero, netting a hat-trick, as Mbappe was unavailable due to injury. Vinicius was also a constant threat drifting into wide areas, while Bellingham was free to join attacks in the final third from the left-hand side of midfield. 

Real Madrid will be without Endrick, who was allowed to join Lyon on loan. Meanwhile, Alexander-Arnold is expected to be out of action until the end of the month at the earliest. 

Real Madrid predicted lineup vs Atletico Madrid (4-4-2): Courtois; Valverde, Asencio, Rudiger, Carreras; Rodrygo, Camavinga, Tchouameni, Bellingham; Garcia, Vinicius.

Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid Prediction 

  • Pick: Real Madrid to Win
  • Odds: +143 (20Bet)
  • Correct score prediction: Atletico Madrid 1-3 Real Madrid

Being without Mbappe could enable Vinicius and Bellingham to play with greater freedom. Both stars enjoyed excellent performances in a recent 5-1 win over Betis, and they combine well with Garcia, who is perfectly capable of holding up the ball. 

Camavinga will be crucial in the middle of the field, tasked with breaking up Atletico’s counterattacking threats. Real Madrid’s experience in knockout soccer should serve them well, and they’re favored to win this semifinal in 90 minutes. 

Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid Prediction, Betting Tip

  • Pick: Both Teams to Score – Yes
  • Odds: -172 (20Bet)

Real Madrid’s attacking players typically get the attention, but their indifferent defensive record could mean there is value in BTTS on Thursday. Los Blancos have conceded 0.89 goals per game, and they’ve allowed a relatively high xGA average of 1.27. 

Atletico have struggled for form throughout the campaign, but their attacking play has been eye-catching, with 1.78 goals per match. Furthermore, BTTS has been a winning selection in five of the last six head-to-head meetings.
