This afternoon, Real Madrid face their second LaLiga away match in just four days. It will also be a tough test for the league leaders, who play the first derby of the season at the Metropolitano on matchday seven of the championship (4:15 pm CEST).

Xabi Alonso's side go into the game in spectacular form, having won all seven official matches played this season (six in the League and one in the Champions League). The aim is precisely to continue this winning streak, this time against an opponent that has yet to lose at home since the season started (two wins and one draw).

"We expect a tough atmosphere that will make us play with energy and concentration to be able to win," said Xabi Alonso at the all the players he has available, so Trent, Rüdiger and Mendy miss out through injury. Mbappé will be there, having scored nine goals in seven games and is the competition's top scorer with seven goals.

The red-and-whites go into the game in ninth place before playing their matchday seven fixture. Despite having nine points, they have proven to be a difficult opponent to beat. In fact, they have only lost one game in the league (two wins and three draws). With four goals, Julián Álvarez is their top scorer in LaLiga. The last three of these came last Wednesday at the Metropolitano against Rayo.
