Real Madrid meets Atletico Madrid in round 3 of International Champions Cup. The match will be played on Saturday, July 27th at MetLife Stadium (East Rutherford)
In the last season, Real took the third row of the standings in LaLiga. The team promoted to the Champions League. There is nothing more to praise the Spanish club. The latest results of Real were not the same as the fans would like to see. This summer, the club has added new players to its squad, such as Eden Hazard (Chelsea), Ferland Mendy (Lyon), Eder Militao (Porto), Rodrigo (Santos), Luka Jovic (Eintracht). However, the Spanish club lost several players: Raul De Thomas (Benfica), Theo Hernandez (Milan). In this tournament, Real Madrid did not start very well. The team met with Bavaria and lost 1:3. Even with the fact that they were facing the champion of Germany, the Spaniards could not even fight back adequately. But in the second match against Arsenal, the Spaniards really managed to avoid trouble. In the first half, Real Madrid conceded two goals and their hopes for victory were minimal. But it was not to be - in the second half of the match, Real Madrid managed to equalize the score and won in the penalty shootout - 3:2.

Atletico took second place in the previous season of LaLiga. The team managed to pull away from the nearest pursuer by eight points. During the preparation for the new season, the Spanish club held two friendly meetings. In the first match, Atletico could not win Israeli Beitar (1: 2). The second meeting was played with the local club Numancia, and the men of Simeone managed to win with a crushing 3:0 score. The Mattress Makers scored all three goals at the end of the match. In the first match of the International Champions Cup, Atletico won the Mexican club Guadalajara (1:0). The winner was determined only after a penalty shootout. There are noticeable changes in the structure of Atletico. The club has signed such footballers as Mario Hermoso (Espanyol), Kieran Trippier (Tottenham), Ivan Saponjic (Benfica), Joao Felix (Benfica), Marcos Llorente (Real Madrid) and Felipe (Porto). The Mexican midfielder Hector Herrera (Porto) also joined the squad as a free agent. But, unfortunately, this summer the club suffered losses in the team. Diego Godin (Inter), Luciano Vietto (Sporting), Lucas Hernandez (Bavaria), Rodrigo (Manchester City) and Antoine Griezmann (Barcelona) are no longer in the team.
As we wrote earlier, teams have approximately equal powers. Both teams have good lineups. The game can be compared to the last played matches in La Liga. The level of Arsenal and Guadalajara are different as heaven and earth. Therefore, we believe that Real Madrid has more chances to win the upcoming game. At this stage, their team is more prepared, given the departure of Atletico’s leaders.
Prediction for the match: Real Madrid to win
