At 4 a.m. Beijing time on Monday, February 5, 2024, the 23rd round of La Liga will usher in a high-profile matchup, Real Madrid will face Atletico Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium.
The six-point back-to-back games mean a lot for Real Madrid, who are currently at the top of the table but only two points ahead of Girona. In the event of a loss, they may lose their position as the leader. Therefore, Real Madrid's goal at home will be to secure a draw and secure their leading position.
Atletico Madrid currently have 47 points, and although it will be difficult to compete for the La Liga title this season, it should not be a problem to retain Champions League qualification.

Although Real Madrid has averaged 2 goals per game at home in La Liga this season5, but Atletico Madrid has also kept a number of clean sheets recently, showing strong defensive ability. Therefore, this pitched battle is likely to end in a draw. Let's wait and see this exciting matchup!
