Reasons For Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona predictions & Betting Tips

Barcelona are slight favourites for this match with odds of 2.65 with Unibet, with Atletico Madrid priced slightly higher at 2.75 with bet365. The draw is 3.40 with bet365.

News in Catalonia has been dominated by non-footballing issues, although the controversy surrounding referendum has no doubt had an effect on the team and the fans.

In their last match, Barca had to play behind closed doors in an eery 3-0 win over Las Palmas. They haven’t let events in the city effect them though and look strong as ever on the pitch.

They have won all of their matches in La Liga so far this season, although this will be their first real test. Atletico Madrid always give them a real battle, even though they haven’t beaten the Blaugrana domestically since 2010.

The timing of the match isn’t great for Ernesto Valverde’s men, with star strikers Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez returning from crucial World Cup qualifiers and only likely to have 48 hours to prepare for the trip.

We could see the ‘FIFA Virus’ having somewhat of an effect, which is why we’re backing the draw at 3.40 with bet365. Atletico will be motivated in their new 68,000 stadium.

Yannick Carrasco always seems to play well against Barcelona and is in good form, scoring for Belgium during the international break. He is 10.0 with Unibet to score the first goal.

However, Barca have enough quality to at least get a result here. A draw wouldn’t be the end of the world for them, and 1-1 looks a good price at 6.50 with bet365.

Ousmane Dembele and Rafinha remain on the long term injury list for Barcelona. Their biggest issue is the so-called FIFA virus, with Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi both set to arrive back late from important South American qualifying matches.
