Real Madrid to face Atletico in Madrid derby match

Real Madrid will take on Atletico Madrid in the first Madrid derby of the 2018/19 La Liga season.

Real Madrid who lost to Sevilla during midweek game will have to tidy things up by putting up a great performance against an impressive Atletico Madrid side.

The Santiago Bernabéu side lost a host of players to injury before and during the midweek game, and will be looking forward to having some of them in their starting line up against their city rivals.

Atletico Madrid will go into this game with great confidence having won their last two games in La Liga, and scoring five times in the process.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid have dropped five points in the league so far this season.

MY THOUGHTS

This is really going to be another tough fixture for Real Madrid, who lost against Sevilla on Wednesday. The team is looking not so sharp, especially with the absence of some key players.

Many fans have started saying Lopetegui is not fit, but that is never the case. He is a new manager, and it will take some time for the players to fully key into his philosophies.

The absence of a figure like Cristiano Ronaldo is also being missed, we shouldn't deceive ourselves. However, Real is still the team to beat despite the form, new manager and absence of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Atletico Madrid will definitely get a tough game tomorrow.
