La Liga: Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid live
The much-anticipated clash between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid is set to take place at Camp Nou, a game that has always been a highlight on the Spanish football calendar. The game is scheduled to kick off at 2:15 pm (GMT) on Sunday.
Barcelona’s quest for another La Liga title has slowed down a bit after drawing their last two matches against Girona and Getafe. Nevertheless, they are still holding a strong lead at the top of the table. With an impressive record of 23 wins, four draws, and two losses in 29 matches, Barcelona have amassed 73 points, which is 11 points ahead of the defending champions Real Madrid. However, Barcelona have a solid home record, having collected 36 points from their 14 matches, with a strong home record and a solid position at the top of the league, it is likely that the team will consider this season successful, with a chance to win both the Spanish Super Cup and La Liga title.
Diego Simeone’s side has been solely focused on league football in recent months, following their elimination from Europe and the Copa Del Rey, enabling them to solidify a top-four position and close in on second-placed Real Madrid, who are just two points ahead of their capital rivals heading into the next set of fixtures. With a 12-point lead over fifth-placed Real Betis, Atletico are not in danger of dropping out of the top four, and their aim is to chase down Real Madrid for second place. Atletico Madrid have been strong on the road, having secured 30 points from 14 games and aim to continue their away form at Camp Nou.
Head-to-Head
In their recent five meetings in La Liga, both teams have won twice, with Barcelona winning the reverse fixture 1-0 at Wanda Metropolitano in January.
Prediction
Atletico Madrid will approach this game with confidence as they have been the in-form team in recent weeks. Barca should be wary of the threat they pose and put up a display to match. It is challenging to predict a defeat for Diego Simeone’s side on Sunday afternoon given their impressive run of form, so we predict a draw.
