Atlético Madrid vs Real Madrid Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | LaLiga 2025-26

Three of the last five matches between them have ended in a draw.

Atlético Madrid are all set to battle it out against Real Madrid in their matchweek 7 fixture of the 2025-26 LaLiga season. The intense Madrid derby is scheduled to take place at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano.

The Diego Simeone-led side haven’t been able to come up with their top performances this season. In their first six LaLiga matches of the new season, Atletico Madrid have only been able to win a couple of matches. They will be at home for their upcoming fixture and are likely to use it to their advantage.

Real Madrid are in flying form since the start of the season. They have won all six of their league matches and have also started their UEFA Champions League campaign on a positive note.

The Xabi Alonso-led side are performing well in all departments. Despite being away from home, Los Blancos will be feeling confident.

Form:

Atletico Madrid: D-W-L-D-W

Real Madrid: W-W-W-W-W

Players to Watch

Julian Alvarez (Atletico Madrid)

The Argentine striker is coming in after scoring a sensational hat-trick against Rayo Vallecano in the previous league encounter. Julian Alvarez gaining his form back is going to be a big advantage for Atletico Madrid. He will be making sure to trouble Los Blancos’ defence.

Kylian Mbappe (Real Madrid)

Kylian Mbappe can be a menace to the opponent’s defence as he is in great form at the moment. The Frenchman has scored seven goals in six LaLiga appearances this season and will be keen on engraving his name on the scoresheet yet again. Mbappe is surely going to create issues for the opponents in the final third.
