Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone is unconcerned about Real Madrid's scratchy form going into tonight's derby.

In midweek, the Rojiblancos prepared for the game at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu with an emphatic 3-0 win over Huesca.

A day later, their rivals were beaten at Sevilla by the same scoreline, although Cholo isn't reading too much into that.

"I look beyond the last game when I look at Madrid. They didn't have a good match in the first half but that can happen against Sevilla because they are a great team," he told reporters.

"They have a way of playing which isn't easy to compete against and take confidence from their system.

"I believe that Madrid have shown up until now that they are a direct team with [Marco] Asensio and [Gareth] Bale.

"Those are players with a great turn of pace, can move it well and quickly in attack, with a good view of the game further up than [Toni] Kroos, [Luka] Modric or [Sergio] Ramos, who can assist them.

"But I don't evaluate an opponent based on the last game that they played.

"I value them for their characteristics and potential. We know we're going to face one of the best teams in the world."
