Prediction and Preview
Preview: Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid
Eight days after their thrilling eight-goal encounter in the Supercopa de Espana, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid clash again in the Copa del Rey last-16. Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid emerged victorious with a 5-3 win in Riyadh, and now they defend their knockout crown against their local rivals. The recent Supercopa de Espana semi-final witnessed a six-goal spectacle in regular time, requiring extra minutes to determine a winner.
Atletico's dreams of Supercopa glory were dashed by an own goal and a Brahim Diaz effort. Despite recent Supercopa setbacks, Diego Simeone's side remains in contention for Copa del Rey success after a 3-1 victory over Lugos in the last 32, with Memphis Depay delivering a second-half brace.
However, Atletico's form has been inconsistent, with just two wins in their last six matches during a challenging winter period. They face Real Madrid again in the Copa del Rey last-16, mindful of their recent quarter-final elimination in the 2022-23 edition at the hands of the same opponent. The Madrid derby takes center stage once more as both teams vie for progression in the tournament.
