There will be plenty of ruckus in Madrid on Saturday, as Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid will travel a walking-distance to face nemesis and La Liga leaders Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The Merengues hold a slim two-point lead on Barcelona, but will hope to make it five in a must-win Madrid Derby affair. The Madrid Derby was last played in November when Real Madrid routed The Colchoneros, 3-0. Although a comfortable 10-point gap sits between Real Madrid and Atletico, Diego Simeone’s men will feed off their month-long undefeated form to try and solidify as Spain’s third best.
Derby vibes will shift over to Germany as Allianz Arena will be the venue for the clash of the two Bundesliga giants. This year’s first version of Der Klassiker, will see Bayern Münich and Borussia Dortmund clash for bragging implications as Bayern sits comfortable atop of the Bundesliga by a secure 10 points.
Back in England, the race to finish in the top-four has taken a tight turn. Second in the table, Tottenham, seeks to stay in title contention as they host Watford. Once leaders, Liverpool, will try to earn three vital points to maintain them in Champion League consideration as they visit Stoke. While, Manchester City pledge to overturn recent woes against a Hull City that has won their past two bouts.
