Team News & Lineups

A major blow for Los Blancos as Thibaut Courtois is sidelined with a muscular injury. Andriy Lunin starts in goal. Kylian Mbappé returns to the starting XI after an injury layoff, but Jude Bellingham is expected to start on the bench.
- Predicted XI: Lunin; Alexander-Arnold, Rüdiger, Huijsen, Carreras; Valverde, Tchouaméni, Pitarch, Güler; Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior.
Atlético Madrid:
Jan Oblak is a massive doubt (late fitness test), with Juan Musso ready to step in. Pablo Barrios is out, meaning Marcos Llorente will likely slot back into the midfield pivot.

Over/Under Analysis: Over 2.5 Goals
Six of Real Madrid’s last seven home games have seen Over 2.5 goals. With both teams likely using backup goalkeepers (Lunin and Musso) and featuring world-class attackers like Mbappé and Julián Álvarez, this match has “goal fest” written all over it.
GG vs. NG Tip: GG (Both Teams to Score – YES)
Both teams have found the net in four of the last five Madrid derbies. Given Real’s defensive injuries and Atlético’s clinical counter-attacking form, backing GG at 1.68 is the smartest play for your slip.
The 20Bet “Value” Prediction: Real Madrid 2-1 Atlético
Real Madrid is historically stronger in “must-win” home derbies. The return of Mbappé provides a verticality that Atlético struggled to contain in the Super Cup earlier this year.
