Real Madrid has a long, unbeaten streak and a two-match winning streak in La Liga. They lead the Spanish league with 72 points, eight more than Barcelona, the closest rival of the capital team. Real Madrid's home statistics are second in the division: +12=2-0, 35:7 goal difference. Real Madrid is the only team not to have lost a single game in La Liga 2023/24.

The Basques became finalists of the Spanish Cup, having beaten Atletico in the semi-finals. After the victory over the capital team, Athletic played a 0:0 draw with Barcelona, with an identical 2:0 win over Las Palmas and Alaves. It should be noted that Atletico did not concede a goal in the last four meetings. After two consecutive defeats, Atletico has risen to fourth place, i.e., is in the Champions League competition and is one point ahead of Madrid. Atletico's away statistics are fifth in the division, +5=5-4, 14:12 goal difference.

We doubt that the upcoming encounter will be very rich in goals. In the five most recent head-to-head meetings between Real Madrid and Atletico, the TO (2.5) was not reached, and in the nine most recent meetings, the TO (3.5) was not reached. As for the outcome, we are on the side of Madrid. We believe that the leader of the championship will win the upcoming game. It should be noted that Real Madrid has won seven games against Atletico, losing only twice in this period.
