Atletico Madrid take on the visitors Real Madrid at “Vicente Calderon Stadium” in the second-leg match of the semi-final of the UEFA Champions League. The game will be played on Wednesday, May 10th. The first-leg match ended with 3:0 scoreline in favour of Real Madrid.
Atletico Madrid go through one of the worst seasons under the rule of Diego Simeone. “Los Colchoneros” occupy the third place in the LaLiga with only 74 points taken and 66-25 goal difference after 36 rounds. But what is more important that the side won just once out of nine clashes against the first six teams of the Spanish elite division. Moreover, Atletico Madrid were beaten by Real Madrid 0:3, Barcelona 1:2 and even by Villarreal 0:1 in front of their fans. Concerning the UEFA Champions League, despite the fact that “Los Colchoneros” faced in the Play Offs not the strongest teams: Bayern Leverkusen and Leicester City, they still managed to knock out their opponents by lucky chances. And now it seems that the side is likely to finish its pace in the semi-final of the main European club competition. Eight days ago Atletico Madrid completely collapsed in their head-to-head against the town mates: even though the team demonstrated its usual football, the defense totally failed and the attacking group made only one kick into the goal area.

On the contrary, Real Madrid come up to the decisive part of the season in the top competitive form. Even though “Merengues” occupy the second position in the standings of the LaLiga beyond the leading Barcelona with 84 points gained and 96-39 goal difference, they still have the one postponed encounter which enables them to get back on the top of the table. Regarding the UEFA Champions League, Real Madrid showed outstanding results in this season recording eight victories and three draws in 11 clashes. The side won all five games in the Play Offs, scored at least two goals in 11 clashes in a row plus got 3:0 triumph at “Vicente Calderon Stadium” in this season. Moreover, Zinedine Zidane’s team demonstrates almost perfect football against Atletico Madrid from the first till last second of the first-leg match of the semi-final.
“El Derbi Madrileno” took place five times in the UEFA Champions League resulting in two draws and three victories in favour of Real Madrid. In previous matches Diego Simeone’s team always battled with its town mates and now it looks like “Los Colchoneros” are not ready to fight with Real on equal, In their turn, at the moment “Merengues” look very solid, consistent and powerful side, thus, I believe that Real Madrid will be able at least not to lose at their opponent’s field.
Prediction for the match: Real Madrid to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
