Spanish league leaders Real Madrid will seek to extend their 10 point lead against their arch-rivals Atletico in a derby to be played on December 12 at 11 pm at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium.
Madrid have posted impressive results in the league having won all 5 of their last league matches. Real have 39 points after playing 16 matches.
On the other end, Atletico will be buoyed by the fact that Real’s topscorer Karim Benzema will miss the match after suffering an injury. Benzema has 12 goals this season. However, Diego Simeone’s Atletico will be wary of Brazilian Vinicius Junior who has scored 10 goals this season in La Liga.
Atletico, the 2020/2021 title winners also have one game in hand, and amassed 29 points. As of Wednesday, December 8, Atletico were 4th on the log.
In recent years, Real have dominated the Madrid derby having won 3 of their past 5 clashes with the other 2 ending in a draw.
Atletico narrowly lost their hard-earned victory to their rivals in March 2021 after Karim Benzema equalized at the 88th minute. The game ended 1-1.
