Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid 23.04.2023 Prediction: La Liga

Match Overview

One of the biggest games in the Spanish calendar takes place on Sunday when Barcelona host Atletico Madrid at home in the 30th round of La Liga. Leading the table with 73 points to their name, Barca will hope that they can increase the gap that they have between themselves and their opponents of the night. Atletico, on the other hand, will have to ensure that they do not concede too many early goals.  

Key Highlights

Barcelona have kept the most number of clean sheets this season- 22 and will be looking to do the same on Sunday. They are virtually unplayable at home, and Atletico will have a tough time breaking their defence down. However, they do have Antoine Griezmann in their side, who was formerly with Barcelona, and is known to create big chances and impress the forward line with his creativity. 

Injury Report

Barcelona have a long list of injured players in their ranks which includes the likes of Ousmane Dembele, Andreas Christensen, Frenkie de Jong, Pedri and Sergi Roberto while Atletico Madrid will miss out on the services of Stefan Savic, Reinildo and forward Memphis Depay (another former Camp Nou player). Geoffrey Kondogbia and Marcos Llorente will be missing in action due to suspensions.

Prediction

We predict both teams to get on the scoresheet in this game (BTTS). Barca are not expected to keep a clean sheet against the likes of Griezmann and Angel Correa. On the other hand, Barca, who drew their previous game against Getafe, will have to play out of their skins to get a positive result here.
