Match Win and Draw Prediction for Tonight
This is a game that Real may not find it so easy to win, with Goggle prediction being a 51% winning chance for the host. Atletico Madrid are predicted to have a winning chance of 23% while a draw has a probability of the remaining 26%.
This is a mere computer calculated probability and a surprise match result may also be on the card. We never know what Diego Simeone might pull out tonight.
Carlo Ancelotti’s man will be confident though especially after their recent but late win in Copa del Rey against Leganes.
Team Lineup for the Match
Let’s take a look at the lineup for tonight’s match. For the home side, we can expect a lineup as below:
Goalkeeper
Thibaut Courtois is expected return to the Real Madrid lineup after being rested for the Copa del Rey clash against Leganes.
Defence
Aurelien Tchouameni is likely to move into the make-shift centre-back role, something he has excelled at this season. Raul Asencio is expected to retain his place as the other centre-half following his impressive consistency.
Ferland Mendy will continue as the left-back, and Lucas Vazquez should make it to the Real Madrid lineup as the right-back after regaining his fitness.
Midfield
Real Madrid’s midfield will be boosted by the return of Camavinga and Bellingham, who will make their way into the starting XI. Meanwhile, Federico Valverde is also expected to move into the centre of the park after featuring as a makeshift right-back against Leganes.
Attack
Up front will be the fearsome trident Rodrygo, Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe, who have to be at the top of their game to get the better of their rivals who are strong defensively.
As for Atletico, their squadlist has been announced as below:
We predict the actual lineup for the visiting side to be something like this:
Atletico predicted lineup vs Real Madrid (4-4-2): Oblak; Llorente, Gimenez, Lenglet, Galan; Simeone, De Paul, Barrios, Gallagher; Alvarez, Griezmann.
Match Result Prediction
Now coming to the overall match result prediction at the end of 90 minutes, we expect a surprise result shocking Real Madrid.
It will be one of the below result:
Real Madrid 1 – 2 Atletico Madrid
Real Madrid 1 – 1 Atletico Madrid. The best bet would be for a double chance for the visiting side to win or draw.
Conclusion
Tonight’s game should be an interesting one starting right from the kick off. We expect some good attacking football in this Laliga match which will play a crucial role towards the final points.
The two teams are separated by just a point. A draw result would be a great opportunity for FC Barcelona to catch up with both the teams as they currently trail at third on the table.
