For the Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid prediction, we say Barcelona will win and this is why. Although Barca have struggled to control matches in recent weeks, there’s a chance they would beat Atletico Madrid this weekend because Diego Simeone’s side struggles to play at their best in away games.
Prediction: Barcelona 2-1 Atletico Madrid
We predict both teams to score on Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid, and this is why. Four of Barcelona’s last five matches, excluding the Copa del Rey game, ended in BTTS, while five of Atletico Madrid’s last seven matches ended similarly.
Betting Tip: Both teams to score
Barcelona bounced back to winning ways when they came from a goal down to beat FC Porto 2-1 in Spain in the Champions League. Barca won three and lost one of their last five La Liga matches. It’s clear they are struggling to maintain consistency, but they are only four points behind league leaders Real Madrid, in 4th place with 31 points after 14 games.
Atletico Madrid are in top form, having won four of their last five La Liga matches. They maintained their momentum when they thrashed Feyenoord 3-1 away from home in the Champions League. Atleti have done well in the league this season so far, and they occupy the 3rd position with 31 points with a game in hand.
