Barcelona vs Atlético Madrid Preview and Team News
Barcelona Team News
Barcelona confirmed their spot as leaders of La Liga with a 2-0 win over Las Palmas. They struggled to find the final action but eventually came out victorious in the second half.
Los Amarillos set up a defensive midfield three, which forced Barcelona to find new ways to get to the final third. Dani Olmo broke the deadlock in the 62nd minute with excellent footwork, allowing him to catch Las Palmas off guard. Ferrán Torres’ quality as a super substitute continued as he scored in additional time, leading fans to claim he deserves more playtime.

The Barcelona club were drawn with Benfica for the Champions League Round of 16. The first leg is scheduled for March 5th in Lisbon, while the return leg will take place in Barcelona on March 11th.
They defeated Real Betis (5-1) and Valencia (5-0) in the previous rounds of the Copa del Rey. Fans deemed the game against the former one of the best of the season. The match against the latter resulted in Valencians leaving the stadium after only twenty minutes. The Catalans remain undefeated in 12 events across all competitions.
Andreas Christensen, Marc-André Ter Stegen, and Marc Bernal are sidelined with injuries.
Barcelona predicted lineup vs Atlético Madrid (4-2-3-1): Szczęsny; Balde, Cubarsí, Araújo, Koundé; Pedri, Casadó; Raphinha, Olmo, Yamal; Lewandowski.
Atlético Madrid Team News
Atlético Madrid are third in La Liga after a comfortable 3-0 victory at the Mestalla against Valencia. Ángel Correa scored a goal, and Julián Álvarez scored a brace.
The Argentine player has been compared to Radamel Falcao, a former Atlético forward, due to his instinct for scoring goals. He’s netted nine times and assisted two in 25 La Liga appearances this season.
❝We are excited, enthusiastic and eager to compete❞.

According to Relevo reporter Matteo Moretto, Antoine Griezmann has been linked with a move away from Atlético. Although considered fundamental for the team, inside sources are aware the Frenchman may look for an exit to the MLS at the end of the side. The last advancements hint towards a progression in an eventual transfer, although it will depend on the player.
The guests have been paired with Real Madrid for the Champions League. The first leg is scheduled for March 4th, while the return will take place on March 11th.

Bet hereBarcelona vs Atlético Madrid Prediction
- Prediction: Barcelona to win
- Odds: 1.70 (22Bet)
- Score Prediction: Barcelona 2-0 Atlético Madrid
Although Atlético defeated the Barcelona squad in Montjuic (2-1) in December, the Catalans remain favourites for the tie.
The guests will find it difficult to navigate through the following months with the Madrid Derby in the Champions League and facing Athletic Club in La Liga. They’re only one point behind Real Madrid and Barcelona in the La Liga. The focus will likely remain in the league.

Rotations will dictate who will win the tie, as both managers will have to choose their battles. Traditionally, the hosts have always strived to win the Copa del Rey, making rotations unlikely.
Moreover, Barcelona may have learned their lesson from the last match, where they gave Atlético a hard time but were toothless in front of the net. With the confidence of the previous weeks, a Catalan victory is likely.
Barcelona vs Atlético Madrid Betting Tip
- Pick: Dani Olmo to score
- Odds: 4 (22Bet)
When Dani Olmo is fit, he makes a difference. He was the one to break the deadlock against Las Palmas, with his technical quality proving to be a difference-maker. Against Atlético Madrid, a team famous for its defensive virtues, he’s necessary between the lines to exploit the few loopholes.
