Los Blancos are five points away from the hosts in a tight title race. Don't miss a single moment of this crucial match with our guide.

What has been Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid's form ahead of this game?

Atlético went back to winning ways after beating Villarreal last weekend with a 2-0 score. Before that, Simeone's men had a week of hell against Levante, where they lost one and drew another match. Curiously, Atlético have not been able to win any of their last two home games, as their game against Celta ended in a draw (2-2) and their match against Levante concluded with a 2-0 result against them.

Real Madrid saw their four-game winning streak in La Liga coming to an end last Monday, when a last-gasp goal by Vinicius saved a point for them against Real Sociedad. Prior to that, Los Merengues had kept three clean sheets and claimed crucial wins over Valencia (2-0) and Getafe (2-0). Their last away match was quite a test for them, but Zidane's men claimed a huge one-nil win against Valladolid despite the heavy number of absences they had to deal with.

What is Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid's position in the ongoing La Liga season?

Atlético Madrid will host Los Blancos trying to defend their spot as the top team in the league. Los Colchoneros have a record of 18 wins, four draws, and two losses.
