Prediction 3: Over 2.5 Goals
Still sticking with the theme of goals for this encounter, because the potential for a goal fest is too good to ignore. Historically, this fixture has always produced goals except in four of the last five matches. However, considering the goalscoring form both teams have shown in recent times, it will be hard not to invest in the goals market heavily.Three of Atletico Madrid’s last five matches returned over 2.5 goals, while games involving Barcelona returned the same outcome two times in the last five outings. With that in mind, we predict that at least three total goals will be scored in this match as our final Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid prediction.
