Prediction: 1-1
Barcelona
The ground at Estadio Wanda Metropolitano will shake when Atletico Madrid and Barcelona square off against each other in the La Liga derby. Los Rojiblancos recorded a very important 2-0 win over Elche at the weekend, with the team regaining their spot in top four, but they should not stop now. Mario Hermoso is banned for the match, while both Stefan Savic and Rodrigo de Paul should miss out with injuries. Joao Felix is a major doubt.
Xavi’s men, on the other hand, dropped two points in a 1-1 draw with Espanyol in the Catalan derby. Barca are level on points with second-place Real Madrid, meaning that they are eager to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s derby. However, beating Atleti on the road is easier said than done; therefore, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Jordi Alba misses out through suspension, whereas Sergio Busquets is pushing for a start.
Highlighted Player (Antoine Griezmann):
Anthony Griezmann is a French forward born on 21st March 1991 in Macon, and he is widely regarded as one of Europe’s most exciting footballers at the moment. The pacey striker started showing his potential shortly after coming through Real Sociedad’s youth academy and he went on to score 46 goals in 179 league appearances for La Real. Excellent displays in Spanish la Liga saw him become a target for a number of top clubs, but he eventually choose to sign for Atletico Madrid, and that proved to be a very good decision.
Griezmann continued the rich vein of form at Vicente Calderon, scoring some important goals as los Colchoneros enjoyed domestic and European success, while also becoming a key member of the France national team.
Playing as a winger or second striker, Griezmann possesses impressive technical skills, he is a strong finisher and still finds time to work hard for his side, so no wonder he is widely regarded as one of the leading forwards on the continent. He won the U19 European Championship with France and is tipped to lead Les Bleus to glory on senior level as well.
Highlighted Team (Barcelona):
Barcelona is a Spanish football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia. Barca were founded in 1899 and they are regarded as one of the greatest clubs in world football. The Catalan giants won their 24th La Liga title in 2016, with Luis Suarez winning “El Pichichi” award. Barcelona have won five European Cup trophies and a number of top-class players were part of the team in the past.
The likes of Hristo Stoichkov, Romario, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Johan Cruyff, Diego Maradona and Pep Guardiola are some of many players that played for Barca in the past, but, no doubt, Leo Messi has established himself as the club’s trademark. Barcelona welcome their rivals at Camp Nou, the stadium that was built in 1957.
Barcelona’s local rivals are Espanyol, but the rivalry between Barca and Real Madrid is much bigger. The two La Liga giants face each other in “El Clasico”, which is considered one of the most exciting derbies in the world football. Barca are famous for their football youth school La Masia as well.
