Barcelona - Atlético Madrid predictions

If you’re looking for a relatively safe result bet, a home win at odds of 1.78 is a solid option. That said, Atlético Madrid may yet be able to pull off a surprise, maybe even in the form of a stalemate.

At 3.95 betting odds, an away win would be a huge surprise and we’re positive Los Rojiblancos are well aware of it themselves.

The decisive 3:1 victory the hosts secured in the previous round was hardly a surprise. The odds were heavily in their favour from the get-go as they were both the hosts and priced at 1.22 to win. Unsurprisingly, they dominated the game throughout the runtime and are confidently going into this match.

Atletico’s previous outing was a decent performance on their end. They curtly earned three points against Real Oviedo by maintaining a lead throughout the match. The 1.24 made them huge favourites so the result didn’t come as much of a surprise.

Barcelona have a notably poor defensive record when it comes to playing as visitors. We’re mostly referring to the 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 away games. They are playing as hosts this time around, but you should be aware before you put down any money.

The visiting team are doing rather well offensively – at least as far as their latest 3 matches can tell us. They’ve scored more than 5 times in total over the course of these games.

Though we’re still only halfway through the season and the current table positions are not final, Atletico may be on their way to the Champions League. Of course, plenty of challenges still stand between them and that goal, starting with the match this Tuesday. Most bookies consider them losing to be the most likely outcome, after all.

The latest example of a clash between these two sides we have is from last season when Barcelona managed to walk away with a solid victory and a 2+ goal difference. If the 1.78 betting odds for a home win are to be believed, most bookies are expecting them to repeat that success.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.40, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
