Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid Preview and Team News

Atletico Madrid Team News

Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid will meet in a winner-takes-all round of 16 clash of the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday. 

This game is perhaps the most highly anticipated of all the ones being played in the current round of the UCL, as these two clubs are historic cross-town rivals of each other and would go to any lengths to draw blood.

Atletico might have a slight edge in this game as they are playing at home, and the Metropolitano is a place where Madrid do not feel comfortable at all. 

Knocks suffered by Clement Lenglet and Koke make them doubtful starters in this game, but Atletico should have most of their full-time starters available to take on their nemesis. 

Although they lost 1-2 to Getafe recently, Atletico, as their manager Diego Simeone has often mentioned, have the belief to overturn their one-goal deficit in this game and proceed to the quarterfinal stage of this tournament.

Atletico Madrid predicted lineup vs Real Madrid (4-4-2): Oblak; Llorente, Giménez, Le Normand, Galán; De Paul, Barrios, Lino, Gallagher; Griezmann, Álvarez.

Real Madrid Team News

Real Madrid, who beat Atletico Madrid in the first leg of this encounter 2-1, will hope that they manage to hold their advantage over their cross-town rivals and beat them once again. 

However, Carlo Ancelotti’s men know better than to just edge their opponents out and will go to great lengths to score as many goals as possible.

Star striker Kylian Mbappé, who was signed by Los Blancos in the summer transfer window, will have a massive role to play in this game both on and off the ball. 

He will be closely marked by the Atletico defenders, as he was in the first leg, but Mbappé will have to make sure that he brings his other teammates into the action by directing their style of play. 

Madrid are high on confidence, having won four out of their last five matches, and even keeping a clean sheet in two of them. 

Sadly, Daniel Ceballos and Jesus Vallejo are doubtful starters for this game whereas long-term absentees Daniel Carvajal and Éder Militão have been ruled out for the rest of the season altogether.

Real Madrid predicted lineup vs Atletico Madrid (4-4-2): Courtois; Valverde, Asencio, Rüdiger, Mendy; Tchouaméni, Modrić, Bellingham, Rodrygo; Vinicius, Mbappé.

Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid Prediction

  • Pick: Real Madrid to win or draw
  • Odds: -192 (20Bet)
  • Score prediction: Atletico Madrid 1-1 Real Madrid

Real Madrid, by virtue of having a historical advantage over Atletico, will start as the favourites. We expect them to either win or draw this game. However, the home team are no minnows and will be expected to fight back with equal gusto. 

Manager Simeone is known for his counter-attacking tactics, and we can expect to see Atletico sit back in their own half and wait for possession to fall their way before changing their formation on the go and taking shots inside the Madrid final third.

Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid Prediction, Betting Tip

  • Pick: Both teams to score
  • Odds: -175 (20Bet)

With such top-quality stars featuring for both teams in this game, our pick is that they will get on the scoresheet comfortably. 

Atletico will rely heavily upon Frenchman Antoine Griezmann to see them through to the next round of this competition, whereas, for Madrid, the likes of Mbappé and Vinicius Jr will be the ones shouldering most of the responsibility. 

The visiting side’s midfielder Luka Modrić is a player who has enough experience to know how to shield his defenders, and he too will be seen in an attacking role, feeding his wingers in this game.
