They might not be playing the best football they can but the team in white are doing just enough to get the right result and they would love to finish on the right side even in this fixture.
Atletico Madrid
Diego Simeone will be without the services of Thomas Lemar, Caglar Soyuncu, Reinildo, and Pablo Barrios for the Madrid derby.
Meanwhile, Rodrigo De Paul, Koke and Memphis Depay face a race against time to be fit for this fixture. As far as the attack is concerned, Antoine Griezmann will pair up with former Real Madrid forward Alvaro Morata.
They will have a late fitness test and could end up featuring against Real Madrid. With Barrios out injured De Paul could make it to the starting XI if he manages to clear the fitness tests.
In the centre of the park, De Paul could start alongside Marcos Llorente and Saul Niguez. The trio will look to control the tempo of the game and not allow Real Madrid midfielders to dominate the ball.
Atletico Madrid Lineup (3-5-2)
Oblak; Savic, Gimenez, Hermoso; Molina, Saul, Llorente, De Paul, Lino; Griezmann, Morata.
