Atletico Madrid-Barcelona is a match valid for the 29th day of La Liga and is played Sunday at 9 p.m.: TV, formations and predictions
What do Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have in common? Unfortunately, there is an answer to the question that we Italians don’t like: Inter and Napoli eliminated during the week and goodbye Champions for all the formations in our country. Both Spaniards, in the end, and there is unfortunately also this to point out, deserved it. And now they face each other in a very important challenge for the path in the league.
Then, there is one factor that must be taken into account: Simeone’s team at home has lost only once this season but never in the league. Only Bilbao in the King’s Cup has managed the feat. So we say, mainly, that Barcelona will not be able in our opinion to take the full stake. But there is another fact, which makes the final even more uncertain, and it is related to the 120minutes that the Colchoneros did against Inter at a thousand per hour that will surely weigh in the legs. Pros and cons of a resounding passage to the round for the Spaniards. Who could pay for the enormous physical and mental effort.
Both Simeone and Xavi, of course, will not make turnovers. Morata and Griezmann on one side, Lewandowski on the other. Perhaps Barcelona could dust off former duty man Joao Felix from the first minute, but at the moment Yamal is the favorite over the Portuguese. Otherwise, safe choices on both sides. And let’s go and see how it could end up.
The prediction
This one at the Wanda Metropolitano, as far as we have told you before, is definitely a tie game. With both formations scoring. We don’t feel like adding anything else, except the probability that both sides will find their way to goal.
