Real Madrid vs Atlético Madrid preview

The hosts will go into the game against their city neighbors knowing that they will need to be at their best to keep progressing in the Copa del Rey, as there’s no second-leg game.

That September contest would still be fresh in the memory of Diego Simeone’s side who will be keen to get revenge this time around. However, they have to be at the top of their game to produce an upset result at Santiago Bernabeu on Thursday night.

Both sides won their respective round-of-16 ties in the Copa del Rey in contrasting fashions. Real Madrid staged an impressive comeback to get past Villarreal 3-2, while Atletico Madrid got the better of Levante 2-0.
