The Santiago Bernabéu is getting ready for a monumental clash as LaLiga leaders Real Madrid host second-placed Atlético in the first derby of the season at our ground. Carlo Ancelotti's boys will be hoping the support of the home crowd can help them to the win they need to extend their advantage at the top of the pile (9:00 pm CET).
Our team come into the fixture off the back of sealing a Copa semi-final spot, thanks to this week's win over Leganés at Butarque. Before turning their attentions to the Champions League playoff, tonight is all about three crucial points in the fight for the LaLiga title. They've won the last six in a row on home turf, averaging 4.6 goals in the last three games.

 following injury, while Courtois, Bellingham and Mbappé, who all missed the Copa game, will also be available. The Frenchman is the team's top scorer with 22 goals to his name so far, as he gears up for what will be his first derby against Atlético.

Simeone's boys also come into the match after successfully making the Copa semi-finals. In the league, they sit just one point behind our team, with a record of 14 wins, six draws and two defeats. Griezmann and Sorloth share the title of leading marksmen, with eight goals apiece in the championship.
