[Football- Spain 'Copa del Rey'] 26.1/ 21:00 Real Madrid- Atletico Madrid

The Madrid derby provided us with the Copa del Rey today. After losing to Barcelona in the final of the Spanish Super Cup, the Royals made an incredible renovation against Villareal in the next match, drawing the score 3-2. In the last match against Athletic Bilbao they played really solid and won 2-0. Karim Benzema is back in form, having found the opponents' net in 5 out of 6 matches played after the World Cup break. In the last league game, Eder Militao also showed a good side, who was practically flawless and largely thanks to him Los Blancos kept a clean sheet. Atletico initially struggled with efficiency, but recently they won convincingly, 3-0, against Valladolid, but they are a team that is doing poorly and have not been able to win any of their last 5 games. Derby is governed by its own rules, I think that the morale of the hosts is quite high, and the players' desire to return to form is huge. Carlo Ancelotti announced at a press conference that he will field the strongest squad he has. I think Dani Ceballos and Eduardo Camavinga, who recently brought a breath of fresh air to the team, may get their chances. I bet that Real will win this match, supported by their supporters. Estadio Santiago Bernabeu is a very difficult terrain. The Royals are returning to their stadium after a 77-day break and certainly a victory in the derby would be the perfect highlight of the power of this facility, where Real has not tasted defeat so far this season. Atletico away from the break played mainly in the Copa del Rey against teams from the lower leagues, so I would not draw too much from these meetings. However, if my memory serves me right, Los Colchoneros won the last time at the Bernabeu in 2014, overall, in the last 10 matches between these teams, Atlético won only 2 times and one of those victories was in a friendly match. As I have already mentioned, derbies are governed by their own rules, these meetings are always fierce and not many goals are scored in them. For this reason, I also added under 3.5, which fell in the last 5 games of Atletico and in the last 3 of the 5 games of Real Madrid. In direct matches, the last time the 3-goal line was crossed was in 2019 in the aforementioned friendly match. In competitive games, both of these teams are always fighting for every ball and I don't think we'll see a festivities of goals today.
