8^th January 2023 – 21:00, Metropolitano Stadium, Madrid

Atletico Madrid and Barcelona will close Sunday’s action in the La Liga 16^th round. The home side struggles to stay in the top four, while the visitors will search for an improvement after the latest hiccup.

Atletico Madrid Preview & Team News

Atlético Madrid will be hoping for a repeat of their last result following a 2-0 Copa del Rey victory vs Real Oviedo. Los Colchoneros were also successful in the latest La Liga round, beating Elche 2-0 and staying 4^th in the standings. Their most recent results reveal that not much more can be done by the Atlético Madrid backline. Atlético Madrid has been stingy, with the tally of goals that have gone in at their end during their past six outings standing at 3. The Atlético Madrid boss Diego Simeone will be grateful not to have any fitness worries whatsoever coming into this clash with a fully injury-free group to choose from.

Barcelona Preview & Team News

Barcelona heads into the game after a 1-0 Copa del Rey extra-time win over Intercity in their last fixture. However, they spilled two points against Espanyol in the latest round, allowing Real Madrid to catch them in the standings. A series of resolute performances from the Barcelona defenders has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at four from their past six outings combined. Over that same period, their forwards have managed to score 11. We will have to see whether or not that trend will be sustained into this next match. Out of a mainly full-strength group of players, there’s only the lone fitness worry for the Barcelona manager Xavi Hernández to contend with. Keidi Bare (Ruptured ankle ligament) won’t be in action. The players who will not be able to play in this game through being suspended are Jordi Alba and Robert Lewandowski.
