↔️ Head to head
Looking over their past head to head clashes going back to 08/01/2023 shows that Atlético Madrid have won 1 of these & Barcelona 4, with the number of draws being 1.
17 goals were scored between the two sides throughout the course of those matches, with 6 from Atleti and 11 for Barça. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 2.83.
ℹ️ Team News: Atlético Madrid
We are thinking that Atleti could line up in a 4-4-2 formation featuring Jan Oblak, Marcos Llorente, Jose Gimenez, Clement Lenglet, Javi Galan, Giuliano Simeone, Rodrigo De Paul, Pablo Barrios, Samuel Dias Lino, Antoine Griezmann and Julian Alvarez.
ℹ️ Team News: Barcelona
Thanks to a largely healthy group of players, there’s only the sole fitness worry for the Barcelona boss Hansi Flick to be concerned with. Fernando Pacheco (Ankle injury) won’t be playing here.
From our viewpoint, Barça might elect for a 4-2-3-1 system using Wojciech Szczesny, Jules Kounde, Pau Cubarsi, Inigo Martinez, Alejandro Balde, Frenkie de Jong, Pedri, Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo, Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski.
💭 Prediction
We’re thinking that Atlético Madrid have it within them to get a goal against this Barcelona lineup, however a single goal might not quite be enough to give them the result that they want.
Therefore, we think that it’s going to be a very close game with a 1-2 winning score for Barcelona after the 90. Could easily go either way, this.
