Atlético-Real Madrid: the derby to kick-off 2025
Our team will be looking for victory away from home in LaLiga matchday 16 (12pm CET).
Real Madrid kick off 2025 with an away derby against Atlético, in the 16th round of La Liga fixtures (12pm CET and will be shown on Dazn). The Centro Deportivo Alcalá de Henares will be the setting for this grudge match between the league’s second and third-placed teams. The Whites are three points ahead, with two games in hand compared to their red and white opponents, and will be looking for 3 points today to further widen the gap.
After closing the year by booking their spot in the Copa de la Reina quarter-finals, Toril's side will play at least five matches in January. After the derby, they will host Levante, Granada and Eibar in LaLiga before facing Real Sociedad in the Spanish Super Cup semi-final. Should they be victorious, their final opponents on 26 January would be the winner of Barcelona-Atlético in the other semi-final.
But before that, the first objective is to start the year strongly by sealing three points in the derby. Our team, which has won all its away league games this season, visits an opponent whose league record so far consists of 7 wins, 4 draws and 2 defeats. In the home fixture, the result was 1-1.
