The best comes last! The first "El Derbi Madrileno" of the season will light up the Wanda Metropolitano stadium, bringing the curtain down on the sixth week of La Liga action this Sunday as Atletico welcomes their bitter rivals, Real.
Midweek, Atletico found themselves at the epicenter of a footballing drama rarely witnessed. As Diego Simeone's chosen ones methodically worked toward a triumphant start in this year's edition of the Champions League, steadfastly sticking to their trademark playing style, they were severely punished in the end by Lazio's goalkeeper, Ivan Provedel, who netted a goal in the closing moments, establishing the final score at 1-1. The frustrating draw at the Olimpico served as a painful reminder, especially in the aftermath of Colchoneros' embarrassing 0-3 loss against a faltering Valencia side at the Mestalla just last week. After four rounds - with a match in hand - Atletico has garnered seven points and is eager to break into the top four this Sunday.
On the other hand, Real Madrid approaches the city derby with a high level of confidence. However, it's only fair to admit that Real Madrid had quite a bit of luck in their Champions League opener, managing to breach the defensive bulwark of debutant Union Berlin only in the 94th minute, courtesy of the unstoppable Jude Bellingham, who once again showcased why he's regarded as the best summer acquisition in Europe. On the domestic front, Carlo Ancelotti's squad sits firmly atop LaLiga with a perfect record after five rounds (5-0-0), keeping a two-point lead over their arch-nemesis, Barcelona.
Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid Betting Tips: 1X (Double chance)
It appears that both teams are yet to reach their usual top form, especially the Royal Club, and to make matters worse, injuries have plagued the coaches from the start of the season. Hence, it wouldn't be surprising if the first Madrid derby of the season ends without a winner. In fact, the possibility of Atletico causing an upset cannot be ruled out. The Colchoneros have turned into a "tough nut to crack" at their home ground, as they haven't tasted the bitter flavor of defeat at the Wanda Metropolitano since January 8th when Barcelona edged them out 1-0. Since then, the red and white outfit has accumulated an impressive 12-game unbeaten streak, with a remarkable 11 of those ending in their favor.
While Atletico can take pride in their impressive home record, Ancelotti's team has struggled to find consistency on the road in recent months, as reflected in their results - losing half of their last 12 away matches. Furthermore, Real Madrid, a club of such renown, unexpectedly struggled to find the key to victory against their rivals in recent weeks, and what's even more problematic, the absence of a classic striker is evident, even though Bellingham brings victories. Although Jude is undeniably an exceptional player with outstanding attacking skills, his ability to lead Real to consistent success isn't limitless. Ultimately, considering all the factors, an evenly matched encounter is expected, where both Madrid clubs should settle for a share of the spoils.

Atletico Madrid team news
The injury situation at Atletico continues to worsen week by week, as a whopping seven players didn't make the trip to the Italian capital to face Lazio in the opening match of the Champions League. Just as he returned from injury, Thomas Lemar unfortunately suffered another setback, this time an Achilles tendon injury, which will keep him sidelined for at least six months.
Dutch forward Memphis Depay made his return to training on Wednesday and might feature in the Madrid derby against Real on Sunday, provided he gets the green light from the medical team. Meanwhile, the availability of Rodrigo De Paul and Caglar Soyuncu, both of whom returned from international duty with injuries, remains uncertain for the Sunday showdown.

Real Madrid team news
Following his presence in the starting lineup for all five previous games, seasoned right-back Dani Carvajal was absent from the opening Champions League fixture due to a muscular injury. Should it be confirmed that he won't be fit for the Sunday match, Lucas Vazquez is expected to fill in for him.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti of Real Madrid is looking forward to the comeback of the skilled striker, Vinicius Junior, who has been absent for the past three matches due to a hamstring injury. Nevertheless, there's a question mark regarding the Brazilian's readiness for this fixture, and the manager may choose to omit him to minimize the risk of aggravating his injury.
