Barcelona-Atletico Madrid is a match of the 30th day of La Liga and is played on Sunday at 4:15 pm: likely formations, predictions, TV and streaming.
Maybe it’s the last hurdle for Barcelona. By winning the big match against Atletico Madrid, Xavi’s team could start putting the champagne in the fridge for the party.
And the goal, in the blaugrana house, is obviously this. Yes, they want to close the books soon, even if honestly they can rest easy despite a double setback in the last two outings with as many draws that, however, did not make Real Madrid, which in the league has let up and is only thinking about the Champions League, any closer. But even if Atletico by now, has nothing more to ask of its own season, it will certainly not be easy for the hosts to get the better of Simeone’s team, one of the most in form at the moment. And who, in any case, still have a half-goal: that of overtaking in the standings their city rivals, who are now only two lengths ahead.
There are six wins in a row, in the league, for the Colchoneros who have, it is clear, no intention of stopping. And they want to take advantage of the somewhat so-so moment of Lewandowski and his teammates, who in the last two days have not even found the way to the net. The positive note for Xavi, however, came from the back pack, which suffered little or nothing. The jam, then, is up front, where they are not finding the right geometries to come out on top. To think that Barcelona might not score on Sunday afternoon either seems difficult even though they will have the second least beaten defense in the Spanish league in front of them: Atletico has only conceded 21 goals. Barcelona? Nine. Monstrous.
In short, all told, the indications for this match give almost a certainty that it could be at least one goal per team. Then it could really end any way.
Simeone (Lapresse)
The Prediction
And we are going for a draw. A match that should therefore continue the useful streak of Simeone’s troop. It seems very difficult that, at this moment, Barcelona can emerge victorious from this match and as said the certain thing is that both teams should find the way to the net.
