Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid Prediction, Odds and Betting Tips: Two bets for Sunday night's Madrid derby

Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid meet at the Metropolitan Stadium on Sunday 29th September, live on ITV4 at 8pm, in a game that pits together two rivals looking to make a statement in the La Liga title race.

Atletico Madrid head into the match unbeaten since May. So far this season they have won five of their eight matches in all competitions, registering four wins and three draws in the league which puts them third in the table - two points behind Real Madrid.

The Metropolitano is always a plus in the performance of the Colchoneros, even more so when their greatest rival visits. Atletico can draw on a very impressive record on home soil, delivering their fans 28 wins from their last 33 top-flight matches; winning and conceding on 16 different occasions.

With two teams containing enormous offensive talent going head-to-head on Sunday night, I believe there's every chance that both clubs will score. If this happens, I favour the hosts to come out on top at 18/5.

Julián Álvarez will experience his first Madrid derby following his summer switch from Man City, where he had 32 goal involvements last season, including 19 goals.

The Argentine has since scored twice for his new employers and on Thursday netted a 90th minute winner away to Celto Vigo to claim his side all three points.

The Spider already knows what it's like to score against Real Madrid, having scored for Man City in their stunning 4-0 win en route to going all of the way in the Champions League two seasons ago.

BetMGM are offering decent odds of 18/5 for Atleti's new star to score anytime in the match.
