Atletico Madrid vs. Barcelona Odds
Game Preview
Do you know that the only game where Atletico didn’t lose in the last 5 appearances was against Barca last week, 2-0. All the other matches saw the Mattress Makers losing and allowing two or more goals.
Those matches were very efficient, and each one ended with over 2.5 hits and both teams netting. Though, as we stated, Atletico’s defense was constantly shaky. But don’t forget, Simeone’s crew has nothing to fight for in La Liga anymore, and all of its power is focused on the Champions League.
On the other hand, Barcelona has lost only once in its past 11 games, and that was vs. Atletico. Blaugrana recovered immediately afterward, beating Espanyol, 4-1 at home and extending the gap between them and Real in the La Liga standings.
Raphinha’s absence is a huge blow for Hansi Flick and his unit. The Brazilian was the playmaker of the unit, and his presence up front was indispensable to this crew.
Atletico Madrid vs. Barcelona Head to Head
Barca likes to play at Metropolitano, where they won 4 of the previous 5 contests. The head-to-head games between these teams are very efficient, with 8 of the last 10 ending with over 2.5 goals.
Atletico Madrid vs. Barcelona Predictions
When Atletico has the edge, things become ugly as Simeone uses his tactics. We expect plenty of intensity here, with little football, which is why we won’t pick a regular bet, but go with a prop, which would be a red card. One already took place in the first leg.
