Match Preview – 16:15 Kick-Off at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid

Zinedine Zidane faces two significant tests this month as he tries to win the championship title in his first full season as Real Madrid coach. Real Madrid host Barcelona in El Clasico on April 23, but first have to deal with the derby against Atletico Madrid. One of Zidane's best tactical achievements was the 3-0 away win at Atletico Madrid in November, and he has fond memories of beating the city rivals on penalties in the Champions League final, but nobody can promise him success this time, with the Champions League clash against Bayern Munich looming.

Real Madrid v Atletico Madrid Predictions

The odds favour Real Madrid, but it should be remembered that Diego Simeone has a great record against city rivals – Atletico Madrid only lost twice to Real Madrid in the last 12 fixtures. The visitors' momentum is positive with five wins in a row, and they should never be underestimated. Therefore, the odds on Atletico Madrid not losing the game are quite tempting at 2.05. Antoine Griezmann scored the winner last time Atletico Madrid visited Santiago Bernabeu, and the odds on him finding the net again are decent at 2.50.
