Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid Prediction
Real Madrid have not been at their very best this season, with manager Zinedine Zidane under immense pressure. However, the win against Borussia Monchengladbach will come as a relief, with Zidane's job now not under immediate threat.
Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, have been one of the better teams in La Liga this season. The poor form of Real Madrid and Barcelona, combined with Atleti's winning streak, has seen them sit at the top of the league table, and they are yet to lose in the league.
Atletico Madrid look refreshed this season after some quiet seasons under Diego Simeone. They might have enough to emerge victorious over their city rivals.
Prediction: Real Madrid 0-1 Atletico Madrid
