Atletico started with two unexpected draws against newly-promoted sides. However, they found they best football after that and won two recent league games with 9-0 on aggregate 4-0 over Celta and 5-0 over Sporting. Madrid side is currently on fourth place with excellent 10-1 goal difference ad eight points gained. Simeone’s men played three away games this season, drawing with Leganes, beating Celta and PSV in Champions League.
Barcelona have advantage in matches with Atletico but each match in past couple of season is quite tough battle with unpredictable result. This match is definitely the main event of the matchday but have can expect Atletico to deny most of the Barca’s efforts and the match will be a low-scoring one.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 goals.
