Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Will Kylian Mbappe’s absence prove to be costly for Los Blancos?

Atletico Madrid will host Real Madrid in a classic Madrid Derby on the last day of September in LaLiga. The 30th September match will be played at the Civitas Metropolitano and will see the two Spanish giants collide for ultimate supremacy.

Los Blancos are in second place winning all four of their last matches. The Madridistas won their last away game against Alaves at the Santiago Bernabeu in a match where they scored in the opening minute. Real finally finished the game with a 3-2 victory over Alaves.

The hosts Atletico are currently in fourth position and would like to close the gap on league leaders Barcelona and second-in-line Real Madrid. Like Real, Atletico too are yet to lose this season. They have won four of their games and drew the other three.

Atletico’s last match was against Celta Vigo which they won 1-0. The Los Rojiblancos would surely look to swap positions with their arch-rivals in this match with a win.

Kick-Off:

Monday, 30th September, 12:30 AM IST

Location : Civitas Metropolitano, Madrid, Spain

Players to Watch :

Jan Oblak (Atletico Madrid)

Jan Oblak is Atletico’s talisman ahead of their showdown against Real Madrid. The Atletico captain is known for keeping damage to a minimum and for his unmatched reflexes. The Slovenian has won multiple team and individual accolades because of this and is highly revered by all pundits alike.

His strong physical presence and ability to monitor the backline is an asset for Atletico. Faced against Real’s relentless pressure and attacking prowess there is no better man to rely on than Oblak himself. It’s because of this that Atletico have the meanest defence in LaLiga. Diego Simeone’s backline has conceded just three goals because of him, the lowest out of the lot.

Vinicius Jr. (Real Madrid)

Vinicius Jr is a total unit for the Real Madrid team. The Brazilian is indispensable for the Galacticos. His ability came more to the forefront after Karim Benzema’s departure from the Real Madrid squad.

Vini became a star in his own right. Since joining Los Blancos he has won three LaLiga’s and two UEFA Champions League titles. His movement on the pitch and his ability to finish is second to none.

In addition to that his ability to create chances for his teammates is also noteworthy. He did it with Rodrygo, Brahim Diaz and Karim Benzema. Now he is turning it on with Madrid’s newest superstar Kylian Mbappe. With Mbappe out of the picture with an injury, he will be the face of Real’s attack. His duel with Oblak will surely be a sight to behold and add that spark to the already boiling feud.
