Here's our Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona Prediction analysis: In arguably the biggest football game of the weekend, Atletico Madrid take on archrivals Barcelona at the Wanda Metropolitano on Saturday night, both sides tussling for bragging rights, and more importantly, maximum points.

Barcelona were set-up for failure this season. In fact, the club’s board literally hung them out to dry over the course of the summer. With a number of high-profile players revolting against them prior to the start of the campaign, the 2020/21 season already appeared bleak.

Now, the Blaugrana are struggling to hit their former high marks, and have endured series of disappointing results so far. Cules will be counting on Koeman to get his side on the right track soon enough, and victory over Atletico Madrid should send a strong statement across the country.

Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona Team News

One of the three top teams in the Spanish La Liga, Atletico Madrid aren’t to be treated with a wave of the hand. Though fans are growing increasingly frustrated by Atleti’s trophy drought, they have continued to remain behind their side.

Slow off the blocks last season, Los Colchoneros weren’t even in the running for continental qualification for most parts of the season. However, a post-lockdown resurgence saw them regain their footing to rise to third-place on the log.

This time around, Simeone’s men aren’t making the same mistakes of the previous campaign, and are already off to a bright start. By acquiring the signature of legendary striker Luis Suarez in the summer, Atleti showed their title-winning intent.

The Uruguayan has quickly adapted to life in Madrid, grabbing a brace in his debut. Last time out against newly-promoted Cadiz, Los Colchoneros ran riot, putting four unanswered goals past their beleaguered opposition – Suarez getting on the scoresheet.

Rising star Joao Felix was the top of the pops for Atleti, breaking the deadlock inside eight minutes before bringing the party to a close with his brilliant side in the 90^th minute. Simeone will be counting on his Portuguese youngster to deliver another five-star performance here.

Barcelona’s struggles, both on and off-the-pitch, have been well-pronounced. In fact, long-serving president Bartomeu recently stepped down from his role, as he couldn’t handle the uproar at the troubled club.

Results also haven’t been ideal, as the Blaugrana sit in the bottom-half of the standings, picking up a measly eleven points from eight games. That said, they were in inspired form on the last matchday, posting a 5-2 win on the board. Koeman will hope for more of the same in this fixture.

Injured or Suspended Players

Atletico Madrid: Sime Vrsaljko, Yannick Carrasco, Luis Suarez, Hector Herrera, Vitolo, Lucas Torreira and Geoffrey Kondogbia.
Barcelona: Ansu Fati, Samuel Umtiti, Philippe Coutinho, Ronald Araujo and Sergio Busquets.

Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona Predictions

Far from their utmost best this season, Barcelona have struggled in many games, even against much weaker sides. You get the feeling that victory over this resilient Atletico Madrid side is way off the mark, and they may as well focus on grabbing a point.

The hosts, themselves, aren’t known for scoring goals. Simeone’s charges will snatch at any opportunity to secure a draw, especially against a tricky side in Barcelona. Everything points towards a low-scoring affair, with no more than two goals between the sides.
