Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid

January 19, 2008

20/1- The most interesting match of the week takes place as the two Madrid teams clash home in a derby at the home grounds of Atletico Madrid. The league leaders are in tremendous form and have won all of their last 5 matches, they also have a buffer of 7 points between themselves and the second placed Barcelona and that will keep them relaxed as well. Atletico Madrid are also a team to look out for this season and placed 3rd they would like to give it their best shot to try and close down on the second placed Barcelona. Both teams enter this tie after deserving victories last week, while Real Madrid beat Levante 2-0, in an away tie, Atletico Madrid beat Valencia 1-0 in a home tie. Atletico have been good at home and they would like to see to it that they can maintain the same against the city rivals.

Real Madrid have been riding high on the form of their prolific strikers, Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Baptista, Raul, Robinho and company have displayed great skills and ability to produce magical moments in various matches. Guti has also responded to his new play maker role and the team is looking to be an unstoppable unit. Their away form also has been decent and most importantly they have got into the habit of winning and would not like to lose it.

Atletico Madrid on the other hand have been good but probably not as good as the league leaders, they have more or less relied on Aguero who has created and converted opportunities. They would like to close on to Barcelona and fight for the second Champions League spot, it would be great if they can achieve it instead of having to go through the qualification rounds. Whatever be the results the match is set to be thriller.

Prediction: 1-2, Real win
