Atleti are the only side to have defeated the Galacticos this season, however, this was on their own turf, and a journey to the Bernabeu is not something any side can claim to relish.
Keeping it Real
The simple moniker Madrid will only serve to confuse here, yet the name Real echoes throughout the football world as one to be feared.
This is something they have repeatedly proven this year, as they have made the Bernabeu the embodiment of this, as they are yet to lose here, winning eight and drawing one of their nine games here.
In stark contrast to their cross-city rivals Atletico, who have been weak on the road losing four on the bounce now, not the record one would want to take into a derby.
With four home wins on the bounce in their pocket and an unbeaten record here, they will look to book their place with consummate ease.

Goals for the Galacticos
Despite a recent downturn in scoring Real are unlikely to want to leave anything to chance in this, and come out of it with more than a few goals to the good.
They have hit the over one goal line in 12 of their 19 games to this point, and in 7 of their 9 home games.
Atleti have enjoyed conceding a few goals as well, lacking perhaps stability at the back. This is demonstrated in their recent results as they have conceded two or more in three of their last five matches and three of their last four away games.
Diego Simeone’s defensive excellence has been shattered recently and this is something Real, with all of their considerable goal scoring ability, will look to capitalise upon.

Bellingham continues bringing the heat
Jude Bellingham’s first season at Real is going as well as anyone could have expected, as the midfielder is currently their top goalscorer with 13, and leads their side in goal contributions with 15.
This is something that is unlikely to change as he prepares for his second Madrid derby, the first he will play with the home fans at his back.
Ranked second in xG in the side and third in xA, with the obvious goals to back it up, Bellingham seems one of the more likely candidates to leave his mark on the game.
