Atletico Madrid claimed bragging rights in the Madrid derby over the weekend by scoring five goals against Xabi Alonso's Real Madrid.

This was their first L Liga victory over their rivals since the 2023/24 season and moved Diego Simeone;s outfit up to fifth in the league table. They still trail leaders Barcelona by six points, however.

Frankfurt began the Champions League group stages with a thumping 5-1 triumph over Galatasaray.

Despite conceding first, the German side netted five goals in just 40 minutes across both halves to ensure a dream start to the competition.

Team news

Julian Alvarez missed the first Champions League clash against Liverpool, but he will likely start the clash against Frankfurt, having scored a hat-trick against Real

Simeone will likely be without Jose Maria Gimenez, Johnny Cardoso and Thiago Almada for this match, but has a full-strength squad otherwise.

There is only one injury doubt for the visitors and that concerns defender Rasmus Kristensen. He currently has a muscle injury which could rule him out of the game on Tuesday.

The stats

These two teams have met on just two occasions and that came during the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1975/76.

Frankfurt won both matches, 2-1 and 1-0 respectively, to move into the next round of the competition.

After a poor start to the LaLiga season, Atleti look as though they have finally released the handbrakes. Indeed, across their last four league games they have scored 11 goals, conceding five in the process.

The Spanish side have also won both their previous games with both teams scoring.

Frankfurt's defence is a cause for concern. They have conceded eight goals in their last two Bundesliga matches, although they have scored nine times in those games.

Across Frankfurt's previous six games both teams have scored in every single one, proving that they have a solid attacking output but are unreliable at the back.

Prediction

Buoyed by becoming the first Atletico side to score five times in a game against Real since 1950, Simeone's men clearly start as favourites for this clash.

They fought back to nearly secure a point against Liverpool last time out, but the home team will be gunning for all three on matchday two.

Atleti must watch out for Frankfurt's Can Uzun and Jonathan Burkardt, who have scored 10 goals and registered five assists combined this season.

That duo could certainly cause some problems at the Metropolitano on Tuesday evening, but the hosts should have too much firepower in the end.
