After a minor bump at the start of the month, Real Madrid have recovered well and are back at the top of the La Liga standings while also booking a place in the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League.

Now the focus will be to nail down the top spot in Group F for themselves, which they can do by avoiding defeat against RB Leipzig tonight.

As for the rest of the side, there could be plenty of changes made by manager Ancelotti on the night in Germany. Lucas Vazquez has performed solidly whenever given an opportunity and could be in line for a start at right-back ahead of Dani Carvajal.
Real Madrid have been in top form in La Liga this season. They have won all five of their games and sit at the top of the table, with maximum points. Barcelona are starting to breath down their necks though, two points behind at second and thus, Carlo Ancelotti’s side cannot afford to slip up. And Atletico Madrid are quite some distance away at seventh, with 10 points from their first five games. But when Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid meet up this weekend, it is expected to be a tight game, like most of these contests have been in recent years.
