Atletico Madrid take on the visitors Barcelona at “Wanda Metropolitano” in the round eight of the Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played in Madrid on Saturday, October 14th.
Atletico Madrid came up to the pause in the LaLiga in low spirit as Diego Simeone’s side had lost 1:2 to Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League and then got 0:0 draw against Leganes in the Spanish elite division. In Madrid will face two teams which have not been broken in this season’s LaLiga so far. “Los Colchoneros” picked up 15 points with 12 goals for and four goals against after four victories and three draws gained in seven encounters played and, as a result, they share the third-fourth positions in the elite division table with Valencia. Atletico Madrid conducted two clashes at the home ground resulting in two triumphs over Malaga 1:0 and Sevilla 2:0.

After the failure in the Spanish Super Cup, Barcelona pulled themselves together and earned nine victories in a row. Moreover, the side has not conceded a single goal in three latest matches or for 303 minutes of football. On the eve of the eighth gameweek, Ernesto Valverde’s team is leading in the elite division table with 21 points taken and 21-2 goal difference being five points ahead of the closest chaser - Sevilla. Barcelona picked up nine points with seven goals for and one goal against in three encounters at away fields.
Barcelona have not been defeated by Atletico Madrid in three recent head-to-heads, having gained two victories with the same 2:1 scoreline alongside with 1:1 draw. The upcoming battle will become the true adornment of the Spanish weekend and I don’t believe that the opponents will combine a number of goals in it as the rivals are strong and know each other perfectly well.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
