Atlético Madrid vs. Real Madrid Prediction, Pick
If this game ends in a draw, it will go to a penalty shootout to determine who will advance to the final. I am backing the home team, Atlético Madrid, to find a way to advance and get themselves in that final against Barcelona.
Atlético have won each of the last two games between these sides, both of which were played at the Metropolitano Stadium. They beat their crosstown rivals 1-0 in the second leg of a Champions League tie at the end of last season before bowing out in a penalty shootout. At the start of this season, they beat Real Madrid 5-2 in La Liga. The three games before those two resulted in one Real Madrid win and two draws.
Atlético have done well against their rivals at home in recent games, and I’m backing that to continue on Thursday. They are undefeated in their last five home games against Real Madrid going back to 2023, with three of those being outright wins. Atlético enter this game undefeated in each of their last five games in all competitions and will not need any motivation to play to their potential in this derby.
