Atlético Madrid – Real Madrid: a fiery derby in the Super Cup 
The Madrid derby rolls into Saudi Arabia this Thursday — a Super Cup semi that promises heat and hard edges. Atlético and Real meet in a clash that’s never predictable; context and pride matter as much as current form.
Atlético Madrid: a trophy to save the season 
Atleti are moving but not taking off. The draw with Real Sociedad confirmed the trend: solid, often frustrating when it comes to putting teams away. In La Liga the gap to Barcelona looks too big to seriously chase the title.
In that light, the Super Cup takes on extra weight. Simeone knows this competition can kickstart a group hungry for recognition. The Colchoneros still remember that big win over Real in autumn — proof they can turn up on the big nights.
Recent Super Cup history’s been less kind, with early exits. Still, Atlético arrive with the hunger to break that run and set the tempo in a match where impact and intensity will decide things.
Real Madrid: built for big nights 
Real travel with more certainty. Recent results have quieted critics, and the tidy win over Betis showed they remain dangerous even without some big names.
Xabi Alonso knows this Super Cup can be a turning point. Real handle this format well and usually show up when silverware’s at stake. Squad depth and attacking quality are heavy weapons, especially in games where space eventually opens up.
Against Atlético, meetings rarely finish closed. Real have suffered at times, but they almost always find a way through, even in the tensest scenarios.
Probable lineups
Atlético Madrid :
Oblak ; Llorente, Pubill, Le Normand, Hancko ; Simeone, Gallagher, Koke, Baena ; Sorloth, Alvarez
Real Madrid :
Courtois ; Valverde, Huijsen, Rüdiger, Carreras ; Camavinga, Tchouaméni ; Rodrygo, Bellingham, Vinícius ; Garcia
Key takeaways
- A derby that’s always intense, rarely a closed game.
- Atlético stay solid but sometimes lack a cutting edge.
- Real often show up in high-stakes matches.
- Both teams have been scoring regularly in recent meetings.
Football Prediction Atlético Madrid vs Real Madrid
Both teams to score

First, a word on our predictions
- What we publish on Mathodds are analyses, nothing more. We share an opinion, a snapshot of the moment — never a guarantee. Sport is unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a freak goal… and the script flips.
- Let’s be clear: there’s no risk-free bet. Even when something looks “obvious”, nothing truly is. Yes, you can lose. It’s inevitable at some point.
- Best practice: be sensible. Stake small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live. And don’t chase losses — it almost never ends well.
- Betting should stay a game, not a job or a source of income. If it’s taking over your life, annoying you or stressing you out, take a break. If needed, speak to a specialist organisation. That’s what they’re for.
- Ultimately, responsibility’s yours. Reading our content means accepting the risk exists and won’t disappear, even with the best analysis in the world.
- Essential reminder: betting is forbidden to minors and must comply with your country’s laws. Gambling can derail quickly (money loss, family tension, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.

Info that changes
A prediction is based on what we know when we write it. But between then and kick-off a team sheet can change, a player can get injured, the weather can turn… and the analysis can be out of date fast. We can’t be held responsible for that.
