Atletico - Barcelona: betting tip (cf 4.50) and bets on the Spanish Cup match

Current form

Atletico clearly expected to compete for the championship title and was quite capable of making serious competition with Real Madrid and Barcelona, not inferior to any of the competitors in terms of player selection. The calendar at the start was not the most difficult, but even so, Diego Simeone's team managed to fail the opening segment and immediately found themselves at the bottom of the table.

The crisis was very long-lasting and in such a situation it was no longer necessary to count on being able to join the championship race. However, Atletico managed to avoid the worst, got in shape and quickly returned to the Champions League zone, where it is trying to gain a foothold, but the fight for a place in the top four at the finish line is expected to be extremely fierce.

At the moment, Atletico is in third place in the table with 45 points and 13 points behind the leader Barcelona, 12 points more than Real Madrid - there is no question of fighting for the title. In the last round, the mattresses unexpectedly lost 0-1 at home to Betis, who had been defeated 5-0 in the Cup a few days earlier – the fourth defeat of the season.

Current form

Barcelona has certainly set itself maximum goals in all the tournaments in which it has participated – so far the Catalans have not been eliminated from any of them, and they have already managed to win the Spanish Super Cup. In the first round, Hansi Flick's team had to catch up with Real Madrid, but in the end they coped with the task and quickly not only won back the handicap, but also managed to get ahead.

However, so far Barcelona has no serious gap from its main competitor, from time to time the blue-garnet players make mistakes and Real Madrid is still successfully using them. At the moment, the Catalans are leading the table with 58 points and one point ahead of Real Madrid, 13 points less than Atletico Madrid and Villarreal, who pose no threat.

In the Champions League, Barcelona was clearly betting on finishing in the top eight at the league stage, and in general, Blaugranas were among the top five favorites of the tournament. The blue-Garnet team did not have an easy life at the league stage, but at the same time, three consecutive victories at the finish line helped them finish on the fifth line in the table and guarantee themselves a direct ticket to the 1/8 finals.

Disqualifications and injuries

Interesting betting trends

• Barcelona have beaten Atletico in their last four away matches.
• Barcelona have conceded in three of the last four matches.
