Atlético Madrid vs Real Madrid: Team news
Atlético enter this clash with many points to prove, starting with a good chance to leapfrog their bitter rivals if they get a convincing win here. Following Barcelona's loss, Atlético are one of two unbeaten teams in La Liga, and if we needed something to make this more interesting, the red and white side will try to keep their status as the club with the lowest of goals conceded, with only three after seven games. The team's efforts in front of goal have been led by Julián Álvarez and Antoine Griezmann, who have scored two goals each to lead Atlético to third place this season after seven matches.
On the other side of the pitch, Real Madrid make it to this fixture with a golden chance to close the gap between them and Barcelona, while also making a statement against Los Colchoneros. Los Merengues have the second best attack in La Liga, only behind Barcelona's goalscoring haul, and their defense has been equally consistent with only five goals against them. This game could be a good chance for Real Madrid to try some new tactics, as Rodrygo and Vinicius are expected to lead the line along with Jude Bellingham, who is still looking for his first La Liga goal this season. The team could also benefit from Luka Modric's experience and eventual appearance in their lineup, although the final decision will be made by Carlo Ancelotti hours before the game.
Unavailable players: Atlético enter this match without three players: Pablo Barrios and Borja Garcés will not be around after being involved in the team's recent matches, and they will be joined on the sidelines by Thomas Lemar, who is yet to make his debut this season due to injury. Meanwhile, Real Madrid will have a list of five absences for this clash: Kylian Mbappé, Eduardo Camavinga, David Alaba, Brahim Díaz, and Dani Ceballos, all of them out of this clash with different injuries.
