Bet: Match Handicap Atletico (+1)

Confirming all sports betting predictions Barcelona thrashed Leganes (5-1) in their last La Liga fixture on Saturday. Blaugrana wreaked its anger on a new-comer after having been unexpectedly beaten by another newly-promoted team Alaves (1-2). All in all Luis Enrique’s side has earned 3 wins in 4 matches in Primera in the new season and sits now on the second place. Apart from that, as it was predicted by betting companies, the Catalans have made a fantastic start in the Champions League where they razed to the ground Celtic (7-0).

Unlike their opponent Atletico Madrid have already made two mistakes. Contrary to all sports betting predictions Diego Simeone’s team lost points in matches against two new-comers Alaves (1-1) and Leganes (0-0). However, the betting experts remind that Atleti are slow starters, but great finishers. Having lost 4 points Los Colchoneros began to play at their full strength and this led to 2 consecutive wins over Celta (4-0) ans Sporting (5-0). Besides, Los Rojiblancos defeated PSV (1-0) in their first Champions League game this season.

While choosing a bet you should remember that this fixture is extremely important in the context of the contest for the champion’s title. It should be mentioned that Barca is approaching this game without any injured players. At the same time Diego Simeone has some selection concerns as he can’t rely on Tiago, Cerci and Moya. However, according to the betting experts’ opinion, it is most likely that Atletico’s coach won’t make a lot of changes after the last two perfect games where Atleti scored 9 goals and did not concede any. It is interesting that Atletico overcame Barcelona in Spanish Cup and in Champions League, but did not manage to do it in La Liga since 2010.

The bookmakers think that Barca will continue to beat Atletico in Primera: Barcelona – 1,62, draw – 4,00, Atletico Madrid – 5,50. However, Los Colchoneros are in good form and score a lot so you can bet either on Asian handicap Atletico (+1) (1,76) or Total Goals by Away Team over 1 (2,44). Besides, Both Teams to Score (1,80) got through in 4 of the last 6 games between these clubs in all competitions. Moreover, the bet Total Goals over 2,5 (1,80) is definitely worth your attention.
