Here's our Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid Prediction analysis: In one of the biggest La Liga games of the season, Barcelona welcome Atletico Madrid to the Nou Camp in a crunch La Liga clash, both sides tussling for bragging rights and more importantly, maximum points. It promises to be a cracker of a game. Having got their season off to a flying start, Barcelona raced to the top of the standings and looked on course for yet another league title. They remained consistent, grinding out positive results on a regular basis to remain atop the log.

However, a dip in form after the restart coincided with a Real Madrid resurgence, ultimately placing the Blaugrana in a precarious situation. They have relinquished top-spot to Los Blancos, trailing Zidane’s charges by a single point.

Barca have to continue delivering the three points over the coming weeks while hoping for a Real Madrid breakdown, to have a shot at the title. With top-four side Atletico Madrid coming around town this Tuesday, expect a spirited performance from the Blaugrana as they look to clinch maximum points.

Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid Team News

Things seem to be going south for Barcelona on and off-the-pitch. The club supporters have not recovered from the news of the impending departure of Arthur to Juventus come the end of the season. Yet, they are faced with the possibility of a season with no silverware. How worse can it get for Barca?

In a bid to keep up the pace with table-toppers Real Madrid, Barcelona made a trip to the Municipal de Balaidos with every intent of clinching maximum points. Headed into the game as overwhelming favorites, Barca looked good as they emerged from the tunnel.

Against a relegation-threatened side in Celta Vigo, you’d expect something better from Barcelona as they failed to bag all three points from the fixture. Luis Suarez’s brace was canceled out by goals from Smolov and Iago Aspas, as both sides were forced to settle for a point.

Finally getting back their groove, Atletico Madrid have slowly crept back into Champions League places. All it needed was a couple of wins with their rivals dropping points along the way. Now, Los Colchoneros are in a strong position to finish within the top-four mix.

Taking on huge relegation candidates Alaves last time out, Atletico Madrid managed to secure a narrow 2-1 win to post all three points on the board. In complete control of the game from start to finish, the win was nothing less than they deserved. Perhaps, they should have grabbed a couple more but for profligacy.

For this fixture, we cannot handpick a particular side for an outright win given both sides are well-matched and will be going all out for the win. Having lost their place at the league summit, Barcelona will be desperate for points here to fire themselves back to the top.

Since the restart, they have remained unbeaten with three wins and two draws to their name. Impressively, they are yet to admit defeat in all of their league games on home turf this season. They have an outstanding record of 15 wins and a draw across 16 fixtures.

Atletico Madrid are on an unbeaten run of their own – four wins and a draw. In fact, they are heading into this game on the back of a four-game winning streak, conceding a single goal in that time.

Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid Predictions

It is worth noting that Atleti have not been at their best on the road with a mere three wins from their previous 13 excursions. Also, they have some defensive frailties with just six clean sheets from their 16 away games so far.

It is very likely Atletico Madrid approach this game in a cautious, defensive manner. As such, expect a low-scoring affair with Barcelona nicking the win.
