Real Madrid hosts Atletico Madrid in round 17 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, December 12th at Estadio Santiago Bernabéu (Madrid)
Real Madrid is in great shape. The team has not lost 11 games in a row. In this segment, the Whites won ten matches. They got a ticket to the playoffs of the UEFA Champions League and displaced Real Sociedad from the first place in the Spanish championship standings. During the last week, Carlo Ancelotti's charges defeated three strong opponents: Sevilla (2-1), Athletic Bilbao (1-0), and Real Sociedad (0: 2). Karim Benzema made a big contribution in the first games, and in the last match, the substitute from Ancelotti played a key role. Due to injury, Benzema was unable to continue the game and was replaced by Luka Jovic. The reserve striker of the club made an assist to Vinicius, who had already scored 10 goals in La Liga, and then he sent the net into the goal of Sociedad himself. The gap from the closest pursuer in the face of Sevilla amounts to eight points.

Atlético Madrid is not taking advantage of competitors' failures. The team has been looking a bit unstable lately. In the last eleven games in all tournaments, the Mattress Makers gained only four victories. In the Spanish championship, the metropolitan team rounds out the TOP-4. High point density does not allow the Indians to feel comfortable. The situation in the standings may change at any time. The 7-match unbeaten run in LaLiga was interrupted last weekend. The Mattress Makers unexpectedly lost to Mallorca at home (1-2). Diego Simeone's charges played better and had more chances, but the modest opponent's conversion was higher. It was only the second defeat for Atletico Madrid in the current LaLiga draw.
We are waiting for low production in the upcoming game. It will be a rivalry between the two strongest teams of the Spanish championship. It is the Madrid derby, which has not pampered the fans with a large number of goals lately. In the last two seasons, Real Madrid and Atlético have crossed paths five times. At first, there were two zero draws, and then Galacticos gained two victories (1-0 and 2-0). The last head-to-head match ended in a 1-1 draw. As you can see, the games turn out to be strained. The fight in the midfield, minor fouls, hard collisions, and frequent stops due to the referee's whistles knock down the pace of the game, which leads to unproductive derbies. And this trend is likely to continue.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 goals scored
