Match Facts:
Real Madrid (1st, 71 pts)
- Zinedine Zidane's league leaders host their local rivals with the aim of keeping hold of top spot for another matchday. They go into the derby in fantastic form, having racked up five successive wins in LaLiga Santander.
- The smart money is on Real Madrid to find the net, as they are currently enjoying the best scoring run in their entire history, having got on the scoresheet in their last 41 LaLiga Santander fixtures.
- Los Blancos have beaten their cross-town neighbours 86 times in the league – no other team can boast as many victories over Los Rojiblancos in the Spanish top flight.
Atletico Madrid (3rd, 61 pts)
- Just like Real Madrid, Diego Simeone's men are in superb shape, having also triumphed in their last five league games. This winning streak has been enough for them to leapfrog Sevilla FC and now their aim is to tighten their grip on third place.
- Los Colchoneros are the only visiting side ever to win three consecutive matches at the Bernabeu in LaLiga Santander action.
- Antoine Griezmann has scored in two of his last three appearances away to Los Merengues, with one of those goals coming for Atletico and the other for former club Real Sociedad.
