Match Predict – Away Win
Beyond the form of both teams, which is very similar, Cholo Simeone’s Atletico Madrid have got the measure of Barça’s style. In fact, they have gone five straight games without losing to Barça, with three wins and two draws, and in their last three games against them, they have not conceded a single goal.
Correct Score – FC Barcelona 0-1 Atletico Madrid
The last few FC Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid games have been very low scoring games, in which Atletico Madrid have taken the lead and for the rest of the game they have been locked in defensively, although it sounds too easy, it has been a tactic that Cholo Simeone has always used against Barça, and that in the last few games between the two teams has given them very good results.
Handicap Draw (FC Barcelona +1 goal)
As we think that Atletico Madrid can win this match by a minimum difference of one goal, it seems to us a good Handicap to add a goal in favour of Barcelona so the final result of the match could be a draw.
Preliminary review and match prediction for FC Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid
Despite Barcelona’s bad season in general, they seem to be improving little by little, although sometimes they seem to be the same team as when they were under Ronald Kouman as coach, as for example in the previous game against Alaves, in a game in which Barcelona’s play was quite predictable and very easy for the Basque team to defend.
Barcelona have now played four games in a row, in which their games have had less than 2.5 goals in total. On the one hand this is a good statistic in defensive terms, as they have improved a little, but also negative, as their offensive potential has decreased a lot compared to the beginning of the season.
Atletico Madrid’s season has been marked by their great defensive weakness, which is unusual for a team whose main weapon is precisely how well they defend. In fact, in 21 games this season they have already conceded more goals than in the whole of last season.
Atletico Madrid are one of the teams that best manage their games by leading at half-time, and on five occasions they have ended up winning their games by reaching the end of the first half ahead on the scoreboard.
Safe Bets
We think that the match will be a very defensive game from Atletico Madrid, who will take advantage of Barça being well ahead to score a goal and defend the rest of the match, so we think it is very likely that the match will have less than 2.5 total goals, which has odds of 1.80 at William Hill.
