Match Preview: Real Madrid - Atletico Madrid

This Season we will see the Madrid Derby again, as last year's Finalists will play for a place in the Cardiff Final. They met in 2 of the last 3 Finals, with Real Madrid coming out as winners both times. Can Atletico finally beat their rivals or will the Blancos end Atleti's dream once again?
Both teams have some injury problems, as Bale and Pepe are out for Real Madrid and Juanfran, Carrasco and Gimenez are out for Atleti.

Predicted Lineups:
Navas; Carvajal, Varane, Ramos, Marcelo; Casemiro, Kroos, Modrič; Isco/James, Benzema, Ronaldo

Oblak; Hernandez, Savić, Godin, Filipe Luis; Saul, Gabi, Partey, Koke; Gameiro, Griezmann

Our Prediction:
Atletico will be very cautious and will focus on defending, while Real Madrid will try to score to be in a leading position for the return leg at the Vicente Calderon. As always it should be a tight encounter with a low score. Result: Draw 0:0
