It's advantage Atlético Madrid so far with their 3rd position in the La Liga table, welcoming Barcelona who are placed 8th.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Atlético Madrid form and stats
Overall La Liga stats at home this season for Atlético Madrid, who have the fewest conceded goals (2) in La Liga, are 3-1-0 (wins-draw-losses). The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of four straight victories regardless of arena. Two home wins in a row for Atlético bring valid hopes of a third.
Atlético's previous game was a La Liga match also played at home, ending 4-0 versus Cadiz (placed 6th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Preceding that game was the away draw at Lokomotiv Moskva that finished 1-1.
As mentioned above, Atlético "killed" Cadiz in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Lokomotiv Moskva are coming to town in four days.
Atlético are an "over 2,5 goals" team alone here at Estadio Wanda Metropolitano in their league games, having scored an impressive 12 goals in 4 matches. Defensively Atlético have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (1 in 4 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Barcelona form and stats
Things could have gone better for Barcelona in their La Liga away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.
Barcelona are travelling after their nice 5-2 home win in the La Liga against Real Betis (placed 7th). Before that, Barcelona secured a home win against Dynamo Kyiv with the score 2-1.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Barcelona, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Champions League trip to Dynamo Kyiv.
Barcelona have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 3 league away games 4 goals have been scored. Barcelona are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 2 times in 3 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
