Why you should back Real Madrid
Los Blancos have one of the best goal differentials in La Liga at plus-7, as they have yet to allow more than one goal in a match. Real Madrid have netted 10 tallies, with Jude Bellingham recording half of them to lead the league. The 20-year-old midfielder, who also has notched an assist, converted in each of his first four matches with Los Blancos after spending the previous three seasons with Borussia Dortmund of the German Bundesliga.
Bellingham is three goals away from matching the career high he set in 31 contests with Dortmund in 2022-23. Real Madrid also have been receiving production from Joselu, who has recorded two goals and an assist. Also in his first season with Los Blancos, the 33-year-old striker set up Bellingham's tally in a 1-0 victory against Celta Vigo before converting in 2-1 triumphs over Getafe and Real Sociedad. Joselu, who set a career high with 16 goals last season for Espanyol, completed Real Madrid's comeback last weekend after they fell behind in the fifth minute of the match.

Why you should back Atletico Madrid
The Red and Whites outscored their opponents 10-1 over their first three contests this season before the loss to Valencia. Striker Alvaro Morata leads the team with three goals, which have him tied for second in La Liga. The 30-year-old, who netted a career-best 15 tallies with Real Madrid in 2016-17, was Atletico Madrid's second-leading scorer last season with 13 goals.
The team is hoping to regain the services of Dutch forward Memphis Depay and midfielder Rodrigo De Paul, both of whom missed Atletico's last match due to injuries. The 29-year-old Depay is tied for second on the club with two goals while De Paul has notched a pair of assists. Midfielder Marcos Llorente also has scored twice in four games after converting just once in 22 matches last season. See which team to pick here.
