Atletico Madrid have been in terrific form of late, with the away side coming into Sunday with wins in all of their last six consecutive La Liga matches. They’re arguably the most in-form side in the division, with the return of Diego Costa in January really lifting the spirits of Diego Simeone’s group.

Our Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid predictions back the visitors to cause real problems in Catalonia, which makes backing goals for Los Colchoneros the way to go in our La Liga tips. Antoine Griezmann is in form and there have been few teams able to deny them in the second half of the campaign.

Barcelona are on a 33-game unbeaten run in La Liga, but Ernesto Valverde’s side definitely have got to be concerned heading into this one. Both sides know that a win for Atleti would throw the title race wide open, with both therefore set to do battle until the death at Camp Nou on Sunday.

Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid Prediction and Betting Advice

Atletico Madrid have scored in each of their last nine La Liga games, with their forward line really finding its voice since the return of Diego Costa. Antoine Griezmann has formed a good partnership with the Spain international, with Simeone’s men also benefiting from the recent return of Filipe Luis from injury. Los Colchoneros are fully equipped to head into their toughest game of the season.

10Bet offer the best odds on both teams hitting the back of the net at Camp Nou, despite how solid Barca have been defensively this season. Only Getafe have prevented them from hitting the back of the net in a home La Liga match since November 2016, so despite Atleti’s strong rearguard action, they should fancy themselves to cause plenty of issues for their opposition.

Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez have been in excellent form of late, with Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele also starting to find their feet in the wide areas. Barca have shown themselves to be very balanced, with the extra sprinkling of magic from Messi guaranteed to work Jan Oblak.

Our Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid bets back Antoine Griezmann to score at Camp Nou on Sunday, with the Frenchman in lethal form at present. After three goals against Sevilla and four versus Leganes midweek, the former Real Sociedad man has shot up the goalscoring standings in the Spanish top flight and looks electric.

Despite his blistering recent form, William Hill offer great value on him hitting the back of the net anytime, with his partnership with Diego Costa a huge reason why Atleti have managed to cut the gap at the top and actually threaten to get involved in the title race and lift the Europa League trophy this season.

Our Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid betting tips suggest that this will be a very competitive and entertaining game, with the stakes never to be higher this season in La Liga. Atleti know that only three points will do them any good, and Griezmann will be in the mood to continue his recent form.
