Barcelona and Atletico have had two head-to-head meetings in the last 2 weeks, both of which were incredibly intriguing and goal-rich - first, Barcelona missed a win in their first cup game, leading 4-2, and then Atletico Madrid, leading 2-0 in the Primera Division, lost 2-4 at home.
Atletico Madrid is always ready for surprises, but we do not think that even the home field factor will help the Colchoneros today. Barcelona are playing extremely confident now, so they may well win in regulation time, although bookmakers give good odds on a possible penalty shootout.
Prediction: Barcelona to qualify. We recommend the “Q2” bet, odds 1.83
