Like their opponents this coming weekend, Atletico enters this match unbeaten with four wins and three draws as they sit in fourth place. Unfortunately, they come into this contest off a goalless draw at Leganes before the international break. Atletico also suffered a heartbreaking 2-1 Champions League loss against Chelsea in their last match on home soil, but won their previous three matches by beating Sevilla 2-0, Athletic Bilbao 2-1 and Malaga 1-0. While reigning champions Real Madrid have struggled in the early going of the 2017-18 La Liga campaign, Barcelona has put seven straight wins as they sit in first place. Ernesto Valverde’s squad is currently five points clear of second-placed Sevilla, and lead fifth-placed Real Madrid by seven points as club football returns following the international break. Yannick Carrasco has a team-high three goals as does, Angel Correa. Both, Antoine Griezmann and Jorge Resurreccion Merodio have scored two goals while Jose Gimenez has one goal.

Expert Pick & Final Score Prediction

Atletico has plenty of attacking players and Barca’s defense can be vulnerable when put under the type of pressure Antoine Griezmann and his colleagues will put on them this weekend. Barcelona likes to hold the ball and pass and dribble their way into the opponents box to score., but Diego Simeone’s Atleti is more than prepared for this style of play. Atletico allowed fewer shots than anyone else in Europe last season. They eliminate space down the middle and will make it hard for Messi and Co. to penetrate their defense. Barcelona forwards will rarely get enough space to create something meaningful. Pick: Atletico Madrid 2 – Barcelona 1
