Atletico Madrid will welcome Real Madrid for the Madrid derby at the Metropolitano Stadium on Sunday night. Both of these sides were in Champions League action during the midweek, with the hosts losing 2-0 to Bayer Leverkusen, while Real Madrid defeated RB Leipzig with a similar scoreline. Atletico are currently sitting at the 10th position in the La Liga Santander with 10 points from their opening five games, while visitors are at the summit of the division, having pocketed 15 points during a perfect start to the season. 

Atletico’s last La Liga match against Celta Vigo ended in a 4-1 victory on September 10. Angel Correa opened the scoring before second half strikes from Rannick Carrasco and Rodrigo de Paul extended the lead. And then, Unai Nunez’ own goal sealed Atletico’s third La Liga win of the campaign. However, Diego Simeone’s side couldn’t replicate that form in the European stage, as they were beaten by Leverkusen on Tuesday, courtesy of late goals from Robert Andrich and Moussa diaby. 

Real Madrid, on the other hand, have been in stunning form, having won each of their seven games across all competitions thus far. In their last match against RB Leipzig in the Champions League, Federico Valverde broke the deadlock ten minutes from time, before Marco Asensio doubled the lead, ten minutes later and sealed the win. Prior to that, Carlo Ancelotti’s side beat Mallorca 4-1 in a La Liga fixture last weekend. Valverde, Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo and Antonio Rudiger netted for Los Blancos at Santiago Bernabeu.
