Comprehensive Prediction Analysis:

Atlético Madrid have made a sluggish start to the new La Liga season: 2 wins, 3 draws, and 1 loss in 6 games, earning 9 points to sit 8th—half the points of league leaders Real Madrid. Diego Simeone’s side operates with a 5-3-2 formation; while their shot volume is low (6 shots on target per game), their efficiency remains threatening, averaging 1.5 goals per game. Attackers like Julián Álvarez, Ángel Correa, and Rodrigo Riquelme have found form—Álvarez even scored a hat-trick in their last league game to secure a 3-2 win over Rayo Vallecano, ending a two-game winless streak and lifting morale. Defensive issues persist, however: Atlético have conceded 7 goals in 6 league games, and they were beaten 3-2 by Liverpool in stoppage time in their first Champions League match, averaging 1.1 goals conceded per game. Whether they can withstand Real Madrid’s attacking onslaught remains in doubt.

Real Madrid, by contrast, have been in rampant form this season, winning all 6 La Liga games, scoring 14 goals, and conceding just 3—securing 18 points to lead the table comfortably. Their attack and defense operate in perfect harmony, with an aggressive high-pressing style. In their last league game, they thrashed Levante 4-1, with Vinícius Júnior contributing 1 goal and 1 assist, and Kylian Mbappé scoring twice. To date, Real Madrid have tallied 11 assists alongside their 14 goals, averaging 2.3 goals per game, while their defense has been rock-solid, conceding just 0.5 goals per game. Vinícius has rediscovered his best form, and Mbappé—their star striker—has netted 7 goals in 7 games to top the scoring charts. Notably, this derby marks Mbappé’s first appearance against Atlético since joining Real Madrid; his counterattacking speed could be the key to breaking down Atlético’s defense, putting the latter’s backline to a severe test.

Summary:

Across their last 20 meetings, Real Madrid hold a slight edge (6 wins, 10 draws, 4 losses), though the two league derbies last season both ended in draws. This is the first league derby of the new season: Atlético excels at high pressing and quick counters, while Real Madrid focuses on wing breaks and midfield control—possession dynamics have often shifted in recent clashes. The initial Asian Handicap opened as a pick’em (0), but later adjusted to Real Madrid -0.25 as betting got underway, reflecting a growing shift in sentiment toward Real Madrid. Taking into account both sides’ recent form, Real Madrid is worth backing to secure an away win.
