The previous Madrid derby ended in favour of Los Blancos!
Atletico de Madrid are now going to battle it out against Real Madrid CF for their matchweek 6 contest of the LaLiga 2026-27 campaign. These sides will square off at Riyadh Air Metropolitano in what is going to be an exciting contest.
Diego Simeone’s men have now secured back-to-back wins in their last two games. They first took down Real Sociedad by 3-0 and then outplayed Osasuna by a scoreline of 4-0. Atletico Madrid will now be looking to secure a third consecutive win.
But the upcoming challenge is going to be a tough one. Although Los Colchoneros will be at home for their upcoming fixture, they must get ready to do a lot of hard work. Atleti must control the game from the start or get ready to drop points.
The Jose Mourinho-led side barely secured a win against Elche in their last LaLiga outing. It was a 3-2 victory for them, and once again Carlos Espi stepped up to score a late winner for Real Madrid. This marked their fifth win in the league this season.
The upcoming Madrid derby is going to be a huge test for Mourinho and his squad. It will be interesting to see the tactics used by Los Blancos away from home. They should not allow many chances to their opponents.
