Prediction

Newly promoted Los Canariones have been underperforming so far this season, with only one way, and being low on scoring.

The league newcomers have conceded just four goals in six games, keeping a clean sheet against Real Sociedad and holding Girona and Valencia to one goal each.

But what do those stats speak? It’s hard to score big against them; that’s something Ancelotti’s men can test and find out.

This is a must-win mission for Madrid since Barcelona were held to a frustrating draw by Mallorca earlier. Los Blancos must grab this chance to reclaim their spot atop the La Liga standings.
