Real Madrid will host Atletico Madrid in this week's La Liga derby, a duel that could define both teams' respective seasons.
'Los Blancos' were defeated by Espanyol last week, leaving the gap between them and Atletico Madrid in the table to just one point.
Current form is not usually an indicator of who is the favorite in this match, as Real Madrid's defeat to Espanyol was their first since December, while Atletico have only lost one match in La Liga since October.
A possible Real Madrid victory could see Ancelotti take a big step forward in the title race, but on the other hand Simeone has the opportunity to dethrone him, while an eventual draw would most likely suit Barcelona.
Before the match started, Opta's supercomputer collected all the statistics to provide a prediction.
According to a report from Diario Sport, Real Madrid has a 50 percent chance of triumphing, while the visitors have only 25.3 percent - a draw is estimated at 24.7 percent.
These percentages are based on previous meetings, especially at the Bernabeu, as the last meeting between these two teams ended in a 1-1 draw.
Atletico Madrid's last two trips to the 'Santiago Bernabeu' have ended in a 1-1 draw, while Real Madrid have won the previous three.
Recall that Diego Simeone's last away victory against Real Madrid came in 2016./Telegraph/
