LiontipsAtletico - Barcelona: betting tip (cf 3.50) and bets on the Champions League match
Command Analysis
Current form
Over a long distance in Spain, Atletico has traditionally been unable to compete on equal terms with Real Madrid and Barcelona for a long time. However, in individual matches against these opponents, Diego Simeone's players are able to give their maximum and achieve positive results. This season, the mattress pads have twice given out such duels against the blue-garnet ones. First, in the first match of the semi-final of the Spanish Cup, they were defeated with a score of 4:0. We lost 0-3 in the return leg, but after two matches we made it to the finals.
For the second time, Atletico delighted its fans in the first quarter-final match of the Champions League against Barcelona. They managed to win 2-0 at Camp Nou, creating a good handicap for themselves before the second leg. Undoubtedly, Kubarsi's removal from the opponent at the end of the first half helped. It was by playing in the majority that Madrid scored their two goals.
After the battle with Barcelona, Diego Simeone's team played a match in the Primera away against Sevilla. The head coach quite expectedly used the rotation of the squad, the result was a defeat with a score of 1:2. In the standings after this setback, Atletico is still in fourth place.

Current form
Barcelona started in the playoffs from the 1/8 finals, met with Newcastle. Then a 1-1 draw was recorded in England, and at home they managed to defeat the representative of the Premier League with a score of 7.:2. In the quarterfinals, after the first game, the situation is much more complicated, as you will need to win back on the road after a 0 home defeat.:2. This is not to say that the task is completely impossible for the Catalans with their powerful attack. Moreover, this season we have already managed to beat Atletico three times, and twice with a difference of more than one goal.
It should be noted that in the first match, even with the elimination of Barcelona, the game looked good. Playing with ten players, the Catalans had more possession of the ball in the second half than their opponent, allowing the mattresses to land just one shot on target, which, however, turned out to be a goal. At the same time, they had the opportunity to score themselves, but did not use the chances. The blue-garnet team did not have an outright failure.
In the example, after the failure in the Champions League, Barcelona confidently dealt with Espanyol on its own field with a score of 4:1. Thanks to these three points, it was possible to increase the gap from Real Madrid to nine points, as the cream lost points with Girona (1:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
Pau Kubarsi is out of the game today due to suspension. Andreas Christensen, Rafinha and Marc Bernal are injured.

Tip and bets
The mattresses have a two-goal advantage, but in the match against Barcelona, even on their own field, this still does not guarantee anything. In the first meeting, even playing the whole half in the majority, Madrid did not have a tangible advantage, the opponent had more possession of the ball and could score. The blue-Garnet team's game is aimed at attacking, scoring goals, potentially nothing much has changed for them, there is no doubt that even without these 0:2 they would still be playing their usual football. Let's remember that this season, in the cup semi-final, Hansi Flick's team almost won back after 0-4, and then won 3 in the return leg.:0. We believe that there is an underestimation of Barcelona's capabilities in the betting line, primarily in attack. It's worth taking advantage of the solid odds and betting that the Catalans will make it to the semifinals, perhaps the fate of the ticket will be decided outside of regular time.
Our betting tip is to pass Barcelona by a factor of 3.50
Bet on the total
The Catalans have nothing much to lose, they need to go forward with great strength from the first minutes in order to recoup. Atletico's defense has long been unreliable, and they have already conceded eight goals in five face-to-face meetings with Barcelona this season. At the same time, mattress pads are able to respond in an attack, which they have demonstrated more than once. We expect that more than three goals will be scored in the match.
The second bet is a total of more than 3.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.88
Betting on corners
It is obvious that Barcelona will try to seize the initiative from the very first minute, will constantly press on the opponent's goal. In the first meeting, even playing the whole half with ten, the Catalans won on corners with a score of 5:0. We are waiting for an equally convincing victory of the blue-garnet in this indicator today.
Prediction – Barcelona wins on corners with a handicap (-4.5) with a coefficient of 1.60
