Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid Team News
The La Liga champions remain without the services of forwards Eden Hazard, Luke Jovic and Mariano Diaz, while Martin Odegaard and Dani Carvajal are also out. Fede Valverde is closing in on a return could feature.

Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid Preview
The Madrid derby is traditionally a tight fixture and six of the last eight competitive fixtures between these two rivals have seen two or fewer goals.
This season’s clash, however, could be different – particularly given Atletico’s more attacking approach since the arrival of Luis Suarez.
Indeed, Diego Simeone’s side have netted 21 goals in 10 league clashes this term, just one fewer than the division’s top scorers Real Sociedad who have played two games more.
Real Madrid, meanwhile, have shown they rise to the big occasion this term and despite defeats to Cadiz, Alaves and Shakhtar Donetsk, they have beaten the likes of Barcelona, Inter and Sevilla.
In another important game there should be interest in backing the hosts to get on the scoresheet once again and there is certainly potential value in opposing the recent run of low-scoring derbies.
Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid Tips and Predictions
Both teams to score is available at 10/11 (1.91) and looks like a strong option, while over 2.5 goals is offered at 11/10 (2.10).
