Hunting their second derby victory of the week
From 16:15 CEST this Saturday, Atlético will face off against their rivals in white at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano, where they prevailed last Wednesday against Rayo Vallecano.
Following an incredible 3-2 win on Wednesday against Rayo Vallecano, this Saturday the team plays their second consecutive Madrid derby at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano, where they will play Real Madrid at 16:15 CEST in a clash scheduled for matchday 7 of LALIGA.
The duel is well known for its evenness over the last ten years, and since March 2014, Real Madrid's visits to Atlético's stadium have resulted in three wins for Atleti, three wins for Real Madrid and six draws in LALIGA. Including a draw last season (1-1), when, in stoppage time, Correa cancelled out Militão's strike.
In their previous fixture, Xabi Alonso's men defeated Levante 4-1 with goals from Vini Jr., Mastantuono and a brace from Mbappé. Atlético managed to come out on top against Rayo thanks to a spectacular hat-trick by Julián Alvarez.
