Atlético Madrid v Barcelona Preview
Atlético Madrid’s Form
Atletico have been managed by Diego Simeone since 2011, during which time he has made them the most consistent side in Spanish Football aside from the “Axis of Powers” Barcelona and Barcelona. They came into this season on the back of a 4th finish in the La Liga, Semi-Final appearances in the Copa del Rey and Supercopa de Espana and a Quarter Final in the Champions League.
This season has again been another positive one for Simeones’ men with them currently sitting in 3rd place in La Liga though their three-game winless run has now seen them fall 6 back of Real Madrid and 9 behind Barcelona. Their best chance of a trophy this season is likely this competition following their 4-4 draw in the first leg which leaves the tie perfectly in the balance.
The last time these sides played was earlier this month when Barcelona won out 2-4 thriller after Atlético conceded twice passed the 90th minute (92nd and 98th). Don’t let that fool you though that collapse is very uncharacteristic of this side and they come into this game with every chance of grinding out a result.

Barcelona’s Form
For a side which was so dominant for the best part of two decades, the clubs has seen themselves struggle in recent years following the departure of club legend Messi and a mass exodus of his supporting cast, before even mentioning a myriad of financial issues. 24/25 has brought back Barcelona’s competitive best winning the Supercopa, leading La Liga and into the Champions League quarter-finals as well as this semi-final.
On Sunday Barcelona made it six successive wins in all competitions, following a 4-1 battering of Girona due to a 43rd minute own goal, a Lewandowski brace and a late goal from Ferran Torres. This Barcelona side is arguably far more tactically versatile than their golden era side from 2008-2011 with them capable of holding possession whilst also adding in the fact they can now be electric on the break with attackers like Yamal, Raphinna and Torres.
This Barcelona side will take some stopping not just Tuesday Night but also in their quest for a quadruple this season.

Key Players To Watch
Julian Alvarez - Atlético Madrid
The latest in the line of talented Atlético attackers is Argentinian International Julian Alvarez (25) following his €75.00m move from Man City last summer. Alvarez is a complete footballer capable of linking play and creating chances through both progressive passes and carries, links between the midfield and attack and also offers the stereotypical Atlético defensive contribution.
This season he has 23 goals and 5 assists in 45 matches and he can now be gotten at 11/2 to score first in this game and 7/4 to score at any point.
Julian Alvarez anytime goal - 7/4
Robert Lewandowski - Barcelona
The veteran Polish striker is returning to the club he spent 8 years at from 2014-2022 and in his debut season for Barcelona in 23/24 he finished with a tally of 26 goals and 9 assists from 49 games in all competitions.
This year he’s reacquainted himself with manager Hansai Flick and the scoring streak has continued with 38 goals and 3 assists in 42 games in 24/25. He is 4/1 to score first in this game and 11/8 to score anytime.
Robert Lewandowski first goal - 4/1
Atlético Madrid v Barcelona Prediction & Best Bet
Prediction: Atlético Madrid 1-2 Barcelona
Atlético can’t be ruled out of pulling out a result on Tuesday Night, especially at home, but Barcelona will be naturally favourites to continue their exceptional season.
Can see both sides getting a goal but Barcelona should have enough in the end to win this semi-final second leg.
