<p>Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid will clash in matchweek 7 of the <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/soccer/tips-predictions-soccer/la-liga-betting-predictions">2025/26 La Liga season</a> in one of the biggest games in Spanish club soccer.</p> <p>The two Madrid-based sides have had a close rivalry, and one that has continued to grow over the last few decades. This season’s edition isn’t expected to be any different, especially as both continue to fight for the La Liga crown.</p> <p>Diego Simeone’s side will host the first one of the season, with Xabi Alonso taking charge of his first as the Real Madrid boss, having played in numerous during his playing career with Los Blancos. Will he get a victory as manager this time around?</p> <p>We’ll find out when these two giants clash at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano on Sunday, September 28, at 00:15 AEST.</p> <h2>&nbsp;</h2> <h2>Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid Betting Preview</h2> <p>When a game as big as the Madrid derby takes place, a lot of added emotion is involved. Matches can be heated, with the passion that is held by players, staff, and fans often boiling over.</p> <p>Still, from a <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer">soccer betting</a> angle, it’s worth considering what has happened in previous encounters to try and potentially identify what may happen when the two teams clash. Over the last five encounters, there have been two wins and three draws, with both sides sharing a win each. The results that occurred were as follows:</p> <ul> <li>Atletico Madrid 1-0 Real Madrid</li> <li>Real Madrid 2-1 Atletico Madrid</li> <li>Real Madrid 1-1 Atletico Madrid</li> <li>Atletico Madrid 1-1 Atletico Madrid</li> <li>Real Madrid 1-1 Atletico Madrid</li> </ul> <p>In the 1-0 victory, Conor Gallagher scored the goal inside the first minute. In the 2-1 victory, Rodrygo and Brahim Diaz scored for the hosts, with Julian Alvarez tying the game at 1-1 before the latter’s winner in the second half.</p> <h2>&nbsp;</h2> <h2>Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid Betting Predictions</h2> <p>The latest <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/spain/spanish-la-liga/atletico-madrid-v-real-madrid-9649882">Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid betting odds</a> have the visitors heading into the contest as opening favourites, albeit by a small margin. A close game is thought to be on the cards, although Los Blancos do enter with a better record.</p> <p>Still, we like the value being offered in terms of the ‘Draw’. There have been three inside the last five matches, with four inside the last ten La Liga meetings. The ‘Draw 1-1’ result as a ‘Correct Score’ looks good value for those who want a little extra.</p> <p>Aside from a ‘draw’, we’d also back the ‘Under 2.5 Goals’ for this game, with Kylian Mbappe among the top picks as an ‘Anytime Goalscorer’. The Frenchman is in Golden Boot form at the moment, having enjoyed an impressive start to the campaign. With only one of their last five games scoring over 2.5 goals, we would expect this trend to continue in the upcoming fixture.</p>
