Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid Predictions

• Barcelona are a perfect seven wins from seven in La Liga home matches this season.
• The Blaugrana have scored 16 goals across their last four home fixtures.
• Atletico Madrid have netted in all 14 of their domestic matches this season.

Title rivals set for Camp Nou showdown

La Liga title rivals Barcelona and Atletico Madrid will meet at the Camp Nou on Tuesday and both sides will head into the contest in impressive form.

Barca may have lost away to Chelsea in the Champions League last midweek, but they bounced back with a weekend domestic success at home to Alaves and they are a perfect seven wins from seven in La Liga on their own patch.

After a slow start to the season, Atleti have found their form, winning seven matches in a row across all competitions and each of their last six in La Liga, while their only domestic defeat of the season did come in Catalonia, but that was against Espanyol on the opening weekend.

Recent history favours Barca

With home advantage, Barca will fancy their chances of beating even an in-form Atleti side, and recent history in the fixture also favours Hansi Flick’s team, as they have won seven of the last nine meetings between the two sides.

Goals should also be guaranteed given Barca are the leading scorers in La Liga and have netted 16 goals across their last four home matches alone, a run that includes a pair of 3-1 victories over Elche and Alaves.

Atleti also tend to score, netting in every domestic game this season, and with four of the last five meetings between this pair going over the 2.5 goal mark, this could be another entertaining contest, but one that sees Barcelona ultimately come out on top.
