Atletico Madrid, Recent FormAny Atletico Madrid pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 2-0 away defeat by Cadiz. They achieved 60% possession in that match and had 8 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Cadiz's tally of 7 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 10 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 7 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 25 games in a row, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
They've had a good run of home form recently, with 5 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 25 games.
On an individual basis, Álvaro Morata will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 14 goals in Atletico Madrid's 28 league games this season.
Barcelona, Recent FormBarcelona have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 1-0 home win against Mallorca in their previous league match. In that game they had 63% possession and managed 20 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Mallorca who had 9 attempts and 3 on target.
With 13 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Xavi Hernández will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 5 goals in the same period. They're currenlty on a run of 3 consecutive clean sheets, and over the course of the season they've scored in 26 of their 28 games played so far.
They have not lost away from home for an impressive 13 games in a row.
The Barcelona travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from Ferrán Torres, who's scored 4 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 1-0 win for Barcelona.
The stats show that in the last 4 meetings between Atletico and their rivals, Blaugrana, the former have conceded at least one goal. Ahead of this match, Atletico won't like the look of their goal stats, having failed to secure a goal in their last 3 meetings against Blaugrana.
Barca will be looking to continue their winning streak against Atletico having won in their last 4 meetings in the league.
Atletico manager Diego Simeone has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. César Azpilicueta (Meniscus), Pablo Barrios (Physical discomfort), José Giménez (Muscle), Antoine Griezmann (Sprained ankle), Thomas Lemar (Achilles tendon), Marcos Paulo (Cruciate ligament) and Víctor Vitolo (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With both Alejandro Balde (Tendon) and Pablo Gavi (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season and Marcos Alonso (Back), Frenkie de Jong (Ankle), Pedro Pedri (Muscle), Raphael Raphinha (Ankle) and Ferrán Torres (Thigh) all unavailable in the shorter term, Barca manager Xavi Hernández will be hoping none of his other players pick up a knock going into this clash.
