Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson just favours Real Madrid in the derby.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Real Madrid to win | 20/21 (Unibet) | Real Madrid have made a strong start, winning five of their six games and boasting the division’s deadliest weapon in Kylian Mbappe, who already has seven goals. Atletico have found form with back-to-back wins, but Real have the greater firepower and the man in the sensational scoring streak. Derbies are always tight and tense, but at just under evens the champions-elect look the value to edge a fiercely contested Metropolitano occasion and move to within touching distance of Barcelona at the top. |
| Alex Baena to score anytime | 10/3 (bet365) | Atletico will carry a threat of their own in front of their own fans, and Alex Baena has been their standout attacker with four goals already this season. He arrives from midfield, strikes well from distance and takes a share of the set pieces, exactly the profile to punish a Real Madrid defence that has looked vulnerable at times. In a derby that should have goals at both ends, 10/3 for Baena to find the net against his city rivals looks a genuine value pick. |

How Atletico Madrid go into the game
Atletico have hit form with back-to-back wins, thrashing Real Sociedad 3-0 and Osasuna 4-0. Alex Baena has been superb with four goals from midfield.
Dangerous and in form, Atletico will fancy their chances of upsetting their rivals in front of a raucous Metropolitano.
How Real Madrid go into the game
Real Madrid have won five of six, most recently edging Elche 3-2, with Kylian Mbappe in stunning form on seven goals already. Only a defeat at Betis has blotted their record.
Ruthless through Mbappe and full of attacking quality, Real arrive as favourites but know a derby is never straightforward.
