Zinedine Zidane’s troops aim to melt Atletico’s advantage even more, and they will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways in La Liga.
Sergio Ramos and Dani Carvajal remain in the recovery room, while Eden Hazard should recover in time to face Elche.
Mariano Diaz, on the other hand, is a major doubt. Los Franjiverdes, on the other hand, did well to beat Sevilla 2-1 at home in their last league match, but given their anything but good away record in the 2020/21 season, we are tempted to put our money on the reigning champions.
In their last meeting in Madrid los Blancos crushed los Franjiverdes 5-1.
