Pre-match comments Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid

Real Madrid are showing their formidable strength in the 2025/26 season. Since the start of the season, coach Xabi Alonso and his team have won all 7 matches in all competitions. In La Liga alone, after 6 rounds, they are comfortably at the top of the table with a 2-point gap over defending champion Barcelona. Los Blancos showed the mettle of a "big team" when they had 2 victories with a man-less team against Real Sociedad and Marseille.

In the context of being in high form, Real Madrid is completely confident to travel to Metropolitano. Notably, Los Blancos' recent away record is very impressive, winning all 5 recent away trips, scoring at least 2 goals in each match.

On the other side of the front line, Atletico Madrid is having a very slow start. Coach Diego Simeone's team is stuck in attack and has lost its inherent strength. Atletico Madrid's famous defensive ability has suddenly disappeared recently. Since the beginning of the season, Los Rojiblancos have only kept a clean sheet once after 7 matches. Although they just won 3-2 against Rayo Vallecano, this is not a convincing performance from Coach Diego Simeone's team.

Atletico Madrid were constantly behind their opponents and could only win 3 points thanks to the "miraculous" performance of striker Julian Alvarez. This was a necessary comeback for the striker born in 2000 in the context of the Madrid Derby approaching very soon.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid have shown that they are a team with very comprehensive offensive and defensive capabilities. After 6 rounds of La Liga, Los Blancos have scored 14 goals and are only behind Barcelona in this parameter. Real Madrid are better than the Catalan team in defense when they have only conceded 3 goals, the best record in the tournament.

With their current level and level of play, Real Madrid are considered to be the favorites in the Madrid Derby. However, with the tense nature of a Derby, it is likely that the Royal team will only be able to leave the Metropolitano with a minimal victory, thereby continuing to consolidate their position at the top of the table.
