Atlético Madrid - Barcelona predictions

Atlético Madrid have a big mountain to climb. The task ahead is difficult but not impossible but with 3.20 slapped on home win in this match, this one is for the risk-takers.

The visitors are not walking into an easy match by any means, but they should be able to come out on top. Winning this match will be a welcome boost to their rankings, though such an outcome is priced at 2.25.

The hosts went into their previous game at Getafe as the favourites, but things were already going poorly after the inconclusive first half. They fell being as the game progressed, ultimately recording an unexpected 2:1 away defeat.

It’s safe to say Barcelona fans were disappointed with the team’s latest performance, as they were treated to a rather uneventful affair at their home stadium against Osasuna. The teams hit a stalemate in the early stages of the game, and neither was able to break it before the end. Ultimately, they had to settle for a : draw.

If the home team’s recent history is anything to go by – and it usually is – this match might be interesting for BTTS bets and such. They haven’t let a single match go by without scoring for at least 7 La Liga rounds.

We’ve seen some impressive offensive performances from Blaugrana in the past few weeks. Their latest 3 league outings were marked by more than 5 goals scored, which means this match is likely to confirm markets like BTTS and Over 5 Goals.

Based on the betting odds offered on the home win at most respectable betting sites (3.20), Atletico will have little to hope for against Barca. A match this difficult could not have come at the worse moment for the hosts who are in the Champions League places and still casting an eye on the leading spot.

Barca are seen as the stronger team – after all, they’re expected to win this game despite the home-field disadvantage. However, they failed to defeat Atletico in the home game they played earlier in the season.

We can look forward to an exciting game as both teams have their full lineups available, thanks to no suspensions or injuries.

Backing the visitors here is definitely on the safe side, but we still recommend going for a Draw No Bet. You can then rest assured that you’ll get plenty of value and not worry about losing to an unfortunate stalemate.
