The hosts have lost just one of their last 13 games against Atletico de Madrid in La Liga (W6 D6), 1-0 on the road in May 2022, while the Rojiblancos have lost each of their last three visits to Real Madrid in La Liga without scoring.
Los Blancos head into this fixture on the back of a massive 5-2 win against Liverpool in the Champions with Vinicius Jr. and Karim Benzema stealing the show. The duo will want to once again be the livewire in the attacking third as the Frenchman is also chasing Robert Lewandowski in the Golden Boot race, with the Pole currently leading with 15 goals.
Meanwhile, Atletico have not lost since their 3-1 quarter-final defeat to Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey. Apart from a 1-1 draw against Getafe, they have won three matches before heading into the derby.
