Atletico Madrid Play at Their Fortress

The last time Atleti lost a home game in La Liga was in March 2024. This fact shows how good Diego Simeone’s men are when playing in front of their crowd.

What’s not great is the fact that their last two duels with Barcelona at Metropolitano Stadium saw them lose without scoring a single goal.

More bad news is that their recent form is poor. They lost their last two games – first to Real Madrid in the Champions League, then to Getafe in La Liga.

The loss to Getafe was a bad one as they had a 1:0 lead until the 88^th minute of the game. The man they should blame for the loss is Angel Correa who got sent off just before Getafe scored the equalizer.

He’ll miss the Atletico Madrid vs. Barcelona game for that, which will cause problems in Atleti’s midfield which is already decimated – Rodrigo de Paul and Koke are already out with injuries.

Barcelona Going for a Win on March 16

These guys have been great lately, especially in the Spanish league. They’re 6-0-0 in the last six La Liga games, scoring 19 goals along the way – which accounts for over three goals per game on average.

They have some problems with injuries, but their key men are 100% fit and motivated to do great on Sunday. Robert Lewandowski has been great lately, and the same applies to Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, and others.

In fact, Barca’s players have been great as a collective, with 15 of their 23 outfield players scoring at least one goal this season in La Liga.

Atletico Madrid vs. Barcelona Prediction

We think Barcelona’s roster is much better than Atletico’s. They’re also in a much better shape right now and their confidence is sky-high after six wins in a row in the Spanish top-flight.

The only thing going in Atleti’s favor is that the Atletico Madrid vs. Barcelona game is played on their turf. However, Barca beat them the last two times in Madrid, and we think they can do it again.

Pick: Barcelona
