Barcelona vs. Atletico Madrid Odds
Game Preview
Barcelona broke Atletico’s defense in the late second half to win 1-2 in Madrid. After Real’s slip in Mallorca, they’ve widened the gap in the La Liga standings and boosted morale ahead of this event.
Blaugrana has 19 straight wins at home this season, and that’s maybe the best record in all of the top five leagues. In all but the most recent win (vs. Rayo 1-0), Yamal and the boys scored at least twice.
Atletico has three losses in a row, but all that will be forgotten if they beat Barcelona. Those defeats weren’t painful for Simeone’s unit, but this upcoming event has high stakes.
What we have to add is that Atletico plays interesting football now with plenty of goals involved. 6 of their last 7 matches had over 2.5 goals, and 5 during that span had both teams scoring.
Barcelona vs. Atletico Madrid Head to Head
There were already 4 games between these teams this season. Barcelona won three of them, Atletico one. Yet that single win was enough to eliminate Barca from Copa del Rey, 4-0, losing the second on the road, 0-3.
La Liga fixtures ended 3-1 and 1-2 for Barcelona.
Barcelona vs. Atletico Madrid Predictions
Goals, goals, goals. Even though the stakes are high, both teams know one another very well, and the recent results suggest there will be plenty of goals involved.
