Atletico Madrid
The Mattress Makers unpleasantly surprised last weekend when they lost away to modest Cadiz, who is fighting to stay in La Liga. This defeat interrupted the capital team’s streak of three matches without defeat. At the moment, Diego Simeone’s team continues to occupy the fourth position in the Spanish Championship table, ahead of Athletic Bilbao by two points. It is quite possible that the loss to Cadiz was a result of all of Atletico’s thoughts being on the match against Inter in the Champions League. Diego Simeone’s charges won the match 2-1 and then defeated the opponent in a penalty shootout.
Barcelona
In the previous round, the “Blaugranas” defeated Mallorca at home. The winning goal for the Catalans was scored by 16-year-old Yamal Lamine in the 73rd minute. This victory became the third in the last four La Liga matches. Overall, Barcelona has not lost in nine consecutive matches in all competitions. At the moment, Barcelona occupies the third place in the league table, trailing Girona by one point and eight points behind Real Madrid. Midweek, the Catalan giants dealt with Napoli in the Champions League. After a draw in Naples, the “Blaugranas” defeated their opponent in the capital of Catalonia with a score of 3-1.
Prediction
Atletico is performing exceptionally well at home this season. Over the weekend, the "Mattress Makers" demonstrated their ability to play excellently within their own walls, knocking out Milan's "Inter" from the Champions League, who were favorites in that game. However, the match against the Italians took too much out of "Atletico", with both teams having to play for 120 minutes and then go through a penalty shootout. For "Barcelona", the match against "Napoli" was a bit easier, requiring less effort. We believe that "Barcelona" is somewhat underrated, and along these lines, we consider it optimal to place a double chance bet on the guests. Overall, it wouldn't be surprising if the central match of the round ends in a draw. Here are the betting options for the match: Main prediction — "Barcelona" not to lose at odds of 1.72. Second prediction — draw at odds of 3.90. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.72. Promo code for registration - ODDS2WIN.
