Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid Soccer Betting Analysis
Barca often gets the benefit of the doubt but we must rethink things. Messi’s squad hasn’t played it’s best soccer. Barcelona drew with Real Sociedad on Dec. 14. On Dec. 18, they drew with Real Madrid. After dominating Alaves 4-1 on Dec. 21, Barca drew with Espanyol on Jan. 4.
Contrast that with Atletico Madrid, who has won 4 in a row since a draw versus Villareal on Dec. 6. Atletico beat both Locomotiv Moscow and Osasuna 2-0. They beat Locomotiv on Dec. 11. On Dec. 14, they took down Osasuna. In their last couple of matches, Atletico beat both Real Betis and Levante 2-1.
Barcelona deserves to be the favorite. But they’re the favorites because of reputation. Atletico Madrid has played much better in recent matches. They’ve got a real shot to upset Barcelona before the 90 minutes are up.
