Preview
Real Madrid await Atletico Madrid in matchday 6 of Liga F for the first Madrid derby of the season.
Together with Barcelona, these two teams make up the top three of the league, having won all five of the previous five matchdays. Las Blancas sit in second place, with only one more goal scored than Atlético. This Madrid derby is infamous for Las Blancas for the previous 5 encounters. The white club hasn’t beaten their city rivals in the past 5 encounters, losing three and drawing 2 of them.
Atletico changed their coach in March, firing Manolo Cano, and putting Arturo Ruíz on the bench for the remainder of the season after a series of poor results. Ruíz went on to get Atletico the Champions League spot at the end of the season after three seasons of failing to make the top three. As soon as the season ended, the club brought in Victor Martín. This is Atletico’s 6th manager change in the last four years.
Kickoff is on Sunday, October 13th at 20:00 CEST. The live broadcast will be available on DAZN.
