Barcelona vs. Atletico Madrid: Match Prediction
Barcelona cannot be considered one of the most reliable clubs in La Liga, as they have managed only a few clean sheets this season. However, even when they fail to keep a clean sheet, the team does not crumble – as a result, in 9 of their last 12 La Liga matches, Hans Flick's side has conceded a maximum of 1 goal. Playing at home, Barcelona has not allowed opponents to score more than 1 goal in the current league season.
Atletico continues their winning streak and is aiming for a spot in the top three, but the team still struggles to increase their scoring in away games. Diego Simeone's side has scored in 7 consecutive away La Liga matches, but in 5 of these 7 games, they managed just 1 goal. Additionally, Atletico has scored at least 2 goals in only 3 of their last 15 meetings at Barcelona's ground in La Liga.
Prediction – Atletico Individual Total Under 1.5
