Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid Match Prediction:
Real Madrid 2-1 Atletico Madrid
Real Madrid will take away the three points as Atletico Madrid are facing injury issues with almost all of their defenders currently injured leaving Hermoso and Renan Lodi. This injury crisis could cost them a crucial 3 points and a title challenge because of the form Real Madrid are in.
Even though Benzema is missing through an injury, the likes of Vinicius Junior, Asensio and not to forget the brilliant midfield masterminds in Kroos, Modric and Casemiro are a force to be reckoned with. With Suarez likely to miss out, Griezmann could lead from the front and could cause few problems to the defence but with the experience and tight partnerships between the back four of Real, they should be able to keep Griezmann at bay.
