Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are one step away from the final showdown of the Spanish Super Cup and Wednesday's semi-final tie has to produce a winner.
Since going down by 3-1 in the previous Madrid derby back in September, Carlo Ancelotti's men can make it 20 games without a loss in all competitions.
The two sides are also set to clash in the Copa del Rey round of 16 later this month, with Los Blancos beating Arandina 3-1 while Diego Simeone's side overcame Lugo by the same margin in the same competition.
