Barcelona take on the visitors Atletico Madrid in the round 30 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, April 23rd at Camp Nou (Barcelona).
It seems like Barcelona played their last game of the season on April 5th and failed miserably. It was the second leg of the Copa del Rey semifinal against Real Madrid at Camp Nou, and after a 1-0 win in Madrid (with an own goal by Militao), all Barcelona needed was a draw to secure their place in the final. However, they lost 0-4 to their rivals, once again showing that they struggle against "big" opponents, and reminding fans of other key failures this season against Inter Milan in the Champions League group stage and against Manchester United in the Europa League round of 16 in February. Their victory over Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final and their lead over them in La Liga seemed to ease the disappointment. However, the team has already settled for two goalless draws against Girona and Getafe. It seems like the players are no longer interested in what's happening on the pitch and are more focused on planning their long-awaited vacation and avoiding injuries in the remaining weeks of the season.

Atletico Madrid have performed worse than "Barcelona" in the Champions League. The team finished last in their group, behind Porto, Bruges, and Bayer Leverkusen, who had a shaky start to the season. As a result, they were knocked out of European competitions in November. In the winter, they also exited the Copa del Rey after losing to Real Madrid. "Cholo-Tim's" team had a difficult time in La Liga, struggling to stay in the top four. However, they gradually gained momentum, and after losing to Barcelona 0-1 on January 8th, they did not lose another game in La Liga. From March, they won all their games, catching up to their neighbors, Real Madrid, who stumbled and dropped points. By mid-April, it was clear that the question of who would finish second in La Liga was still open. It is not surprising that they managed to beat Almeria last week, with Antoine Griezmann scoring a decisive brace.
Los Colchoneros had an streak withou defeats in 5 consecutive head-to-head matches. However, both of the recent confrontations were won by Barcelona. Judging by the odds, the next victory is expected for the "Blaugrana", who play at home. But the "Mattress Makers" are good and, unlike their opponent, still have tournament motivation. We recommend betting on the fact that Diego Simeone's wards will not lose.
Prediction for the match: Atletico Madrid not to lose.
