Atletico Madrid has a decent chance to break the statistics against Real Madrid, as the team hasn`t got a win since 1999 onwards. The team of Real Madrid made a lot of effort in the Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund, which was lost with 4-1 and the squad of Jose Mourinho may not be fully recovered physically and mentally for the visit to Atletico Madrid.
The team of Atletico Madrid has been excellent at home this season and so far has conceded only one loss at home in the league. Moreover, Atletico has not been defeated in 18 of its last 19 home games in la Liga and now no doubt the team is highly motivated, after a long pause, to finally succeed over the city rivals. However, Real Madrid has a lead of only 3 points to Atletico and it is unlikely that Jose Mourinho`s team will easily allow to be caught up in the standings.
Real Madrid performs quite hesitantly in its away games this season, which costed the team`s title. "The White Ballet" has 8 losses away from home and 10 wins, which also provides additional hope to the supporters of Atletico Madrid for success in this game.
