Atletico Madrid VS Real Madrid

Atletico Madrid face Real Madrid in a Spanish Super Cup derby that rarely follows a predictable script. Recent form suggests both sides arrive in good scoring rhythm, setting the stage for a high intensity and potentially open contest. Atletico Madrid come into this clash unbeaten in five matches, winning four and drawing once. The most striking trend is their attacking output, scoring at least twice in four of those games, including away wins at Girona, PSV Eindhoven and Atletico Baleares. That consistency shows an ability to threaten in different match contexts. However, defensive control has been less convincing. Atletico conceded in four of those five matches, and the 1-1 draw at Real Sociedad again highlighted moments where they struggled to manage transitions. Even in wins, they have often allowed opponents clear chances.
