Real Madrid have already secured the La Liga title and even as they head to the Wanda Metropolitano to face Atletico Madrid, they’ll be under no pressure at all. Real have recorded 81 points, at the top of the league standings while Atletico Madrid have 61 points, in fourth place. Going to this game, Atletico suffered a 2-0 loss to Athletic Bilbao, which was the fourth game in five matches that they failed to score. Four of their last five matches have produced under 2.5 goals and they have only scored two goals in the last five matches. Atletico have two clean sheets in seven matches but at home, they are unbeaten in seven games. They’ve lost only once in the last 10 matches at home. However, in their last eight competitive matches against Real Madrid, Atletico have registered no win; they've lost four and failed to score in six.

Real Madrid come into this game on a high; they have bagged the league title and staged a great comeback to book a place in the Champions league final. In this game, they don’t have much to gain, and neither do they have anything to play for apart from the bragging rights that comes with the Madrid Derby. In their last five matches, Real Madrid have scored three or more goals and as such each of them has produced over 2.5 goals. In those matches though they had a lot at stake, and here we expect Carlo Ancelotti to rest all his top players as they prepare for the Champions League final. Real Madrid have one clean sheet in the last five matches and we do not expect much to change on that front here, with a number of injuries in the defence. Both teams have scored in Real Madrid’s last three away league matches and they have just one loss in 12 away league games.
