אתלטיקו מדריד נגד ברצלונה

Barcelona top La Liga on 30 points from 11 games, with Atletico Madrid second on 28. Sunday's game at the Metropolitano either stretches the gap to five points or hands Atletico the lead by one. Barcelona have scored 46 league goals and conceded 12, and they come in after a 6-1 win over Alaves and a 3-0 win over Aston Villa in the Champions League. Defeats to Real Madrid (2-1) and at PSG (4-2) are in the recent record too. Atletico have the meanest defence of the pair, with 8 goals conceded in 11 games. They won 2-0 at Levante on 31 October, then lost 2-0 to Bayern Munich in Europe three days later. The last league meeting went to Barcelona, who won 3-1 in December 2025. Our prediction: 1-2
