Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona Prediction and Betting Tips (08.01.2023)

Command Analysis

Atletico Madrid

Spain

Atletico secured four consecutive victories in all competitions, the most recent one over Oviedo (2:0) in Copa del Rey. Only rumours about Joao Felix's possible departure might slightly damage team's morale. After 15 matches Los Indios have eight victories and three draws to their name, delivering 27 points and a 4th position in the standings.

Team is 11 points away from two best teams of the league, plus hosts are chased by a number of opponents, so they have no margin for error. Team is quite impressive on the defensive end, allowing only 23 goals so far in the season.

Hermoso won't be able to help his team, because he is suspended for the upcoming game.

Barcelona

Spain

Barcelona needed extra-time to beat Intercity in Copa del Rey. Catalan side surely underestimated the third-tier side. But before that, Barcelona also failed to beat Espanyol (1:1) in a Catalan derby.

Now Xavi's Blaugrana will try to bounce back with a victory. Barca have lost only one away defeat in the current season, but it happened in Madrid.

Alba and Lewandowski will miss the upcoming game.
