THE PREDICTION

El Derbi Madrilenos. A game that has taken on even more meaning in the last decade as Atleti became serious at the top-of-the-table in Spain. It is a game between the, as it seems, champions elect and the reigning champions. Real Madrid have cruised into a healthy lead at the top in La Liga and have been very controlling, having not conceded more than a goal in a game in their last 12 matches in all competitions. Atletico Madrid have been lacking in cohesion as Diego Simeone struggles to adapt has dogged, defensive style into a more attacking and progressive system to match the personnel he is now blessed with. This game is likely to be nervy, feisty and a low-scoring encounter.
