Atlético Madrid - Barcelona predictions

Predicting which side will win this match based on odds alone is a complete toss-up. We would say the hosts have a bit of an advantage, but their success is by no means assured.

The visiting team knows that beating Atlético Madrid on their own turf will be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

The hosts went into their previous La Liga matchup as favourites, but things didn’t exactly go as planned. They quickly fell behind and were unable to make a comeback for the entire game. Worse yet, they were widely considered to be the stronger team before kick-off, which makes the 2:0 loss a notable upset.

Barcelona had little to prove the last time they played at home against Mallorca, and they secured a 1:0 victory through a one-goal lead in the second half. Still, more was expected from them in such a favourable matchup, and their opponents in round 29 might be a harder nut to crack.

Atletico’s form is fairly strong when it comes to offense – they netted 9 goals in the last three away games.

Blaugrana have registered 8 goals in their three previous home games, which is impressive by any measure. Although they’ll be playing as visitors on Sunday, it’s still a very good idea to look at Over markets.

Placed number 4th in the standings, the hosts are still in the runnings for the La Liga title. Getting the 14 points they need to get to first place is easier said than done, however.

Earlier in the season, Atletico Madrid lost an away game against Barca, though it was with a relatively small goal difference. Most betting predictions agree that things will go differently this time, especially with the 2.44 odds for a home win in mind.

Due to a recent string of unfortunate injuries, neither team will be able to play with their full roster. With José Giménez, Thomas Lemar, P. Rivas, Antoine Griezmann, César Azpilicueta unavailable for the hosts and Frenkie de Jong, P. Paez Gaviria, Ferrán Torres, Alejandro Balde Martínez, Pedri for the visitors, their respective lineups have been significantly impacted. It will be an interesting game, though any bets made may be somewhat less reliable due to the fact.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.70 if you use the 1xbet sportsbook.
