Real Madrid take on the visitors Atletico Madrid in the round 23 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Saturday, February 25th at Estadio Santiago Bernabéu (Madrid).
Real Madrid are currently still the reigning champion of La Liga and the Champions League (having also won the UEFA Super Cup and the Club World Cup in the new season). While they are confident on the international stage, having won 5-2 against Liverpool in the playoffs, their performance in La Liga is less optimistic. After a strong 3-1 win against Barcelona in the fall, they suffered setbacks, with more losses during the winter. They also lost to Barcelona in the Super Cup final. Nevertheless, it is too early to give up hope as they may bounce back in the spring. Regardless, they need to win now.

Atletico Madrid, after their success as championship in 2021, have not been performing well for the past two seasons. The last season ended relatively well, but there are rumors about the possible dismissal of Diego Simeone in the offseason. He may have failed to draw conclusions from their failures in 2021/2022. Atletico Madrid has already faced several setbacks, ending up in fourth place in their Champions League group and leaving the eurocups in the fall. They also lost in the Copa del Rey, just in the previous Madrid Derby (1-3). Thus, they had to focus on La Liga during the winter, which is not easy given their below-average performance. They risk ending up outside of the top four. However, they have gained 13 points in the last 5 games, recording in 3 of their 4 wins the score 1-0.
Last year, the two ambitious clubs exchanged victories over each other on the Wanda Metropolitano pitch. The bookmakers believe that Real Madrid will win, but los Blancos are also tired from their match with Liverpool and lost Rodrigo and Alaba. Atletico Madrid has returned to their traditional pragmatic style. Therefore, the prediction is for a low-scoring game with less than 2.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
