Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid CF Prediction 27 September 2025

Atlético sit only eighth with nine points and a 9:7 goal difference — numbers that hardly reflect their ambitions. Simeone’s men started with a 2-1 loss to Espanyol, and though they bounced back with wins over Villarreal (2-0) and Rayo Vallecano (3-2), they have been held to frustrating 1-1 draws by Elche, Alavés, and Mallorca. Consistency has been lacking, but grit remains.

Real Madrid, in contrast, are flawless so far. With six wins from six, a 14-3 goal difference, and Xabi Alonso’s steady hand guiding them, the Blancos have dispatched opponents with a mix of authority and efficiency — beating the likes of Real Sociedad (2-1), Espanyol (2-0), and Levante (4-1). Their perfect record speaks volumes.

Yet derbies have their own laws. At the Metropolitano, Atlético have often managed to frustrate their city rivals, and Simeone’s side will see this as the perfect chance to become the first team to take points off Real this season.
