Atletico Madrid will entertain Real Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano on Sunday night as both sides look to secure a win in the Madrid derby. Atletico suffered a 2-0 loss at the hands of Athletic Bilbao earlier this month which will dampen their spirits ahead of this game. In contrast, Los Blancos engineered a great come-from-behind win versus Manchester City which will give them a lot of momentum going into this weekend.
