Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid Predictions

• Barcelona haven’t even scored in their last three matches
• Atletico Madrid are on a run of nine wins in their last ten outings
• Barca have failed to win half of their last six games on home soil

Can Barca rise from their slump?

Given their high standards this season, Barcelona have had a real struggle of late, drawing back-to-back games against Girona and Getafe 0-0.

They come on the back of a 4-0 hammering at the hands of Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey, and mean Xavi’s outfit have had their lead in top spot cut to nine points.

The title will still be a formality, but the recent run is a little alarming, as is the fact they have failed to win three of their last six fixtures at Camp Nou.

Can Atleti cause a shock?

It would be wrong to say Atletico Madrid are hot on Barcelona’s heels, but they have closed the gap up to top spot significantly by winning ten of their last 12 games in La Liga.

Diego Simeone’s side have been in hot form, with four of those victories coming away from the Wanda, while also drawing 1-1 at Real Madrid

They also don’t have the worst record against Barca, winning two of the last seven fixtures between the pair, with three of those clashes ending all square.

I predict Atletico Madrid double chance for this game, selecting 1-0 to the visitors as a correct score prediction.
