Atletico Madrid - Barcelona

The biggest game in the Spanish La Liga for this weekend is Atletico Madrid - Barcelona at Wanda Metropolitano. Both teams come from Champions League games. Atletico are fourth in La Liga standings with 14 points after a 1-0 defeat by Alaves in their last game, while Barcelona moved up to sixth with 12 points after a 3-0 victory over Levante. Atletico had a hard time scoring in their recent games but went into this game as a result of an impressive comeback against Milan in the Champions League. Also an issue for Atletico was the red cards they received in four of their last five games, with Joao Felix taking one of them. In the last three matches, Atletico has scored a total of four goals, three of them from the former Barcelona player, Luis Suarez. Atletico has just 3 games in which it has kept its home in nine matches so far this season. Atletico was a second half team for most of its games so far. Of the 11 goals they have scored, nine came in the second half. At home, Atletico are unbeaten in 11 games in all competitions and have lost just once in 33 league games. They are also unbeaten in their last three meetings with Barcelona and look strong enough to extend this streak.

Barcelona is going through very difficult times, coming from another heavy defeat, with a score of 3-0 in the away game of the Champions League with Benfica. They failed to score in three of the last five matches and conceded three goals. The Catalans have been poor defensively this season, with just two games keeping their home side intact in their last eight games. They have won four of their last 10 league games and injured a number of key players, while coach Ronald Koeman is a man under tremendous pressure. They have played three away games so far and have not won, scoring only one goal and two defeats.

Atletico Madrid will go into this game with less pressure, compared to Barcelona, ​​and has a much better course at home than Barcelona away from home. There is a big gap in experience between these two teams and that was Barcelona's main problem, with several senior players injured. Atletico did well in the recent games with Barcelona and looking at the recent journeys of both teams, I will bet on its victory Atletico in performance 2.00 offered by Stoiximan.
