Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid prediction

Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid will never give each other an inch on the pitch. Both Madrid clubs are as good as they come. Los Blancos, though, tend to get the better of their city rivals on big European nights.

With a win in the first leg, they look poised to do the same yet again. Real Madrid beat Rayo Vallecano 2-1 in their latest La Liga meeting during the weekend. Atletico Madrid, meanwhile, were beaten 2-1 by Getafe.

In the first leg, Atleti often controlled possession of the ball. Los Merengues, as they often do, managed to grind out a favorable result from a very difficult game.

At the Wanda Metropolitano, Atletico could prove to be a difficult test for Los Blancos. However, considering the away side's quality and experience, they should get the job done.

Winner: Real Madrid (advance to next round)
