Two arch-rivals who are only separated at the top of the La Liga table by a single point, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid will meet for an iconic derby showdown on Saturday night.
While Carlo Ancelotti’s men might have continued to shine since their Super Cup heartbreak at the hands of Barcelona last month, Atletico will travel across the capital looking to extend on their remarkable flurry.
Suffering just a single La Liga defeat since the end of October, Los Colchoneros have rightfully received a string of plaudits from across Europe’s elite.
In what promises to be a heavyweight derby battle on Saturday night, we have taken a look at some of the most appealing Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid bet builder tips.
A frantic affair in the capital
With all eyes falling on the Bernabeu this weekend, it is no secret that the two Spanish icons have a habit of producing fireworks when they meet.
With Los Blancos and Atletico playing out a controversial 1-1 stalemate when they last met for a La Liga showdown on September 29th, we look set for a fiery affair here.
In fact, with three of the last four La Liga meetings between Saturday’s opponents finishing in a 1-1 scoreline, don’t be surprised to see chances fall at both ends of the pitch.
Two camps who have continued to gain a reputation for their free-scoring performances in the final third, they also promise to produce an abundance of chances on Saturday night.
It should be highlighted, each of the previous eight consecutive meetings between Real Madrid and Atletico across all competitions have finished with both teams getting on the scoresheet.

Griezmann to spearhead an Atletico upset
While Atletico Madrid might open Saturday’s heavyweight showdown pencilled in as a major underdog, Diego Simeone’s men are in the midst of what has become a sensational flurry.
Not suffering a single La Liga defeat against their arch-rivals since a 2-1 loss back in September 2022, Atletico will be relishing a trip across the Spanish capital this weekend.
However, while Saturday’s guests might have failed to collect a top-flight victory at the Bernabeu over the past nine years, Atletico’s attacking talisman will be looking to cash in on a Los Blancos defence that have shown some extended issues.
Notching a Champions League brace against Austrian outfit Salzburg on January 29th, Antoine Griezmann has enjoyed a real free-scoring run on either side of Spain’s festive break.
Along with recording five goals across all competitions since opening the New Year, the French ace has registered 15 strikes so far this season and will play a leading role on Saturday night.

Vinicus to walk a tightrope at the Bernabeu
While Kylian Mbappe might have continued to steal most of Spain’s headlines since completing a blockbuster move from PSG last summer, Real Madrid’s fellow striking superstar has enjoyed his own purple patch.
However, although Vinicius Junior might have recorded 16 goals across all competitions this season, the Brazilian poster boy has gained a reputation for his disciplinary issues.
Opening the New Year with what was a dramatic straight red card away at Valencia on January 3rd and already forced to serve a three-match suspension, Vinicius has found himself at the heart of some real controversies.
Coming off the bench away at Leganes last weekend and picking up a Copa del Rey booking, the 24-year-old has been shown a card in five of his previous 10 appearances.
In what will certainly be another fiery affair from the Bernabeu on Saturday night, the former Flamengo youngster could be set to walk a disciplinary tightrope this weekend.
