Atletico Madrid and Barcelona meet in a match in the stage with the number 15 in La Liga. The confrontation will be played on Sunday, from 20:00, on Wanda Metropolitano.
Barcelona is in top form before this match, with three consecutive victories in all competitions. However, the Catalans were not very convincing in the travel of the current La Liga season, with three wins, one draw and three defeats. Atletico cannot boast of outstanding results obtained in the last period. Diego Simeone’s students have only one success in the last six games played in all competitions.
–Barcelona is unbeaten in the last 8 direct duels with Atletico in all competitions;
-Atletico has only 2 wins in the last 14 straight games played in Madrid, both in the Champions League;
-In 6 of the last 8 direct confrontations there were goals scored by both sides;
Absentees Atletico Madrid: Sime Vrsaljko, Stefan Savic, Diego Costa (injured), Jose Gimenes (uncertain);
Absent Barcelona: Nelson Semedo, Ousmane Dembele (injured), Sergio Busquets (suspended), Jordi Alba (uncertain);
Barcelona has an extremely important absence at this match, Sergio Busquets. He is one of the most important people in Ernesto Valverde’s band, and in his absence, the Catalans could face small difficulties in the middle of the field. In the event of a failure, Atletico is like going out of the fight for the title, and Diego Simeone’s students will do their best to avoid this. We expect at least one point earned by hosts, but also at least 7 cards awarded in this duel.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1,84
