6th February – 16:15, Camp Nou, Barcelona
Barcelona and Atletico Madrid will meet on Sunday afternoon in the most interesting match of the La Liga 23rd round. The home side has improved its form lately, while the visitors don’t want to let them take over the 4th spot.
Barcelona Preview & Team News
Barcelona, which won the previous game, will hope for a similar result after the 1:0 success over Alaves in La Liga. This campaign has been pretty tough for the Catalans since they are far from the title race and got knocked out of the Champions League. Nevertheless, Barcelona could not stop scoring goals, finding the back of the net in each of the last six games. During that time, they managed to make 9, and they got a total of eight. Finally, new reinforcements arrived to help them book the CL spot for the next season. Adama Traore and Pierre Aubameyang are Barca’s biggest signings of the winter transfer window. However, the hosts will miss Memphis Depay the most, as the team’s top scorer with eight goals will miss the derby due to injury.
Atetico Madrid Preview & Team News
Atlético Madrid will go into this encounter following on from a 3:2 La Liga win against Valencia in their previous match. Although they trailed 2:0 at halftime, lost Colchoneros managed to turn around the result. Consequently, that victory kept them one point ahead of their upcoming rivals. Showing their fondness for eventful encounters, we’ve seen goals 21 times in the last six games in which Atlético Madrid has played, making it an average of 3.5 goals for each meeting. Their opponents have got 8 of those goals. Antoine Griezmann will have a great desire to score a goal against the former club, but he has scored only three goals this season.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Neither team has shined this season, and Barcelona has had some trouble playing at home. On the other hand, Atletico Madrid picked up just a point in the previous four outings. Therefore, we won’t be surprised if this encounter ends in a draw.
Goals Market Prediction
Neither team has been confident in the back lately, and we don’t see any of these two sides keeping the clean sheet. The crowd should enjoy the game and see goals in both nets.
