Barcelona v Atlético Madrid Preview
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. However, 24/25 is a new season and they currently sit top of the La Liga with 54 points ahead of Real Madrid by a goal difference of +11 and ahead Atlético by 1 point and a goal difference of +16.
At the weekend the Catalan side earned themselves a 0-2 away victory over Las Palmas following a goal from Olmo in the 62nd minute and from Torres in the 95th minute. Remarkably that win extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to 13 matches with their last defeat coming when they lost 1-2 against Atlético on the 21st of December.
Barcelona can take another step toward silverware with a first-leg victory in this game after their Supercopa de España victory last month.

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 Real Madrid. 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 they’ve continued to come on as a team, with 13 games remaining in La Liga they find themselves very much in a title race only 1 point behind Barcelona and Real Madrid. In the Champions League phase, their 18-point total meant they finished 5th automatically qualifying for the Round of 16. On the run to this Copa del Rey tie they’ve been dominant scoring 15 goals and conceding just the 1 across their five matches.
Simeone’s side are the last to beat Barcelona and will fancy their chances on Tuesday Night.

Key Players To Watch
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 32 goals and 3 assists in 35 games in 24/25. He is 7/2 to score first in this game and EVS to score anytime.
Lewandowski first goal - 7/2
Alexander Sorloth - Atlético Madrid
The Norway international (29) and former Crystal Palace striker has become a regular scorer across the Super Lig, Bundesliga and La Liga in recent years which subsequently earned him a move to Atlético last summer.
While not as prolific as he was in recent seasons, Sorloth remains an effective striker on his day and has still effectively contributed from limited minutes with 12 goals and 2 assists in 1376 minutes, a goal contribution every 0.91 matches. He is 7/1 to score first in this game and 9/4 to score at any point.
Sorloth any time goal - 9/4
Barcelona v Atlético Madrid Prediction & Best Bet
Prediction: Barcelona 2-1 Atlético Madrid
Barcelona look to be increasingly back to their competitive best this season even if their financial and registration issues continue in the background.
Atlético Madrid are the only side who’ve been able to compete with the Barcelona and Real Madrid duopoly and can’t be discounted from a result here.
Atlético may have been the last side to defeat Barcelona, but I can’t see it happening on this occasion.
