Barcelona vs. Atletico Madrid Betting Tips

Barcelona welcomes Atletico Madrid to Camp Nou in an exciting La Liga weekend clash. Both teams have fallen beyond expectations this season, but that doesn’t mean that they’re still top Spanish clubs.

Barcelona has made some statement signings over the January transfer window and will be looking to get their season back on track.

Atletico Madrid had a bit of a silent transfer window, even though they haven’t been in great shape in La Liga.

Will the new Barcelona signings make an immediate impact and win this game? We don’t know yet, but here are the team news and tips for this game.

Barcelona Form and Team News

Barcelona has been struggling in La Liga this season after losing Messi at the start of the season. They are currently 5th in La Liga, 1 point off the top 4, and are looking to move into the 4th place if they manage to beat Atletico Madrid.

Barcelona’s last 5 games in La Liga have seen them draw 2 and win 3. We must acknowledge the fact that they have been improving in their matches as they fought back and held Sevilla to a 1-1 draw. However, they were expected to win Granada, fluffing their lead.

For the team news, Barcelona will be without players for this clash, and they’re Balde Alejandro, Eric Garcia, Umiti, Sergio Roberto, Memphis Depay, and Ansu Fati looks like a doubt.

Atletico Madrid Form and Team News

Atletico Madrid has been struggling just like Barcelona in La Liga and other competitions they’ve played in. They are currently 4th at the La Liga table after winning just 10 La Liga games out of the 21 played this season.

They’re just a point above Barcelona and have won just 2, lost 2, and drawn 1 of their last 5 games in La Liga. Their loss against Granada shows how bad they have been in form.

For the team news, Atletico Madrid has only 2 players that would likely miss this game: Llorente and Griezmann.

However, Barcelona looks good on paper to snatch a win or at least a draw from this game, but remember it can be either way.
