Atlético de Madrid and Real Madrid meet in La Liga tonight, with the hosts having just crushed their opponents 4-0 in their last league match, while the visitors also won 3-2 in their last outing, though it was a victory that required trading goals until the end of the game. Atleti have found their rhythm again after an early-season stumble, winning two in a row and scoring 7 goals in those two matches. The attack is starting to click, but the defense still shows lapses from time to time. Meanwhile, Real Madrid have won three in a row and are the most dangerous team in the league right now, averaging nearly three goals per game in their last five, but they have also conceded in every one of those matches. If Atleti sit deep in a solid block and use counterattacks against a Real Madrid defense that pushes high, the game should be tight and finish with a scoreline that isn't too far apart, because Real Madrid themselves have a weakness to exploit in the space behind their defense that they tend to leave when building attacks.
