Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid

Barcelona host Atletico Madrid in a midweek Spanish La Liga fixture, with both teams looking to claim a major scalp in the title race.

Both teams are showing some good form at the moment and could be set to serve up a thrilling contest. However, the Catalans have been almost unstoppable at home this season and should claim the upper hand here.

Barcelona News

Barcelona head into this clash off the back of a 3-1 home victory over Alaves in their previous La Liga fixture. Dani Olmo netted a brace while Lamine Yamal was also on target for the Catalans.

That was the fourth straight La Liga win for Barcelona, who have been in good form lately. Hansi Flick's men have also impressed in front of their fans this season and boast a 100% home record in the league so far.

Barcelona have one of the best attacks in the league and have scored over 1.5 goals in their eight home matches so far. Nine of their last 10 matches across all competitions have also produced over 1.5 goals in the first half.

Atletico Madrid News

Atletico Madrid are one of the most in-form teams in La Liga at the moment and have won their last seven matches across all competitions. They claimed a 2-0 home victory over Real Oviedo in their previous fixture, with Alexander Sorloth netting a brace.

After enduring a difficult start to the season, Atletico Madrid have now played themselves into title contention, sitting third in the table, just three points off Barcelona. However, their record on the road needs some improvement, having won just two of their last eight away matches across all competitions.

Like the hosts, Atletico Madrid often look sharp going forward and can match up to Barcelona’s attack. Two of their last three La Liga matches have produced over 1.5 first-half goals.

Head to Head

Barcelona have seven wins and two draws, while Atletico Madrid have been victorious three times in the last 12 matches. The most recent meeting was a Copa Del Rey clash back in April, which ended 1-0 in favour of the Catalans.

Verdict

Barcelona v Atletico Madrid

Barcelona have gotten the better of most defences in the league this season, and having scored over 1.5 goals in their eight La Liga home matches, a repeat is expected here. The hosts also have a 100% home record in the league this season, and given the recent results in this fixture, they should claim the upper hand once again.

Nine of Barcelona's last 10 matches across all competitions have produced over 1.5 first-half goals, and a similar pattern could be on the cards.
