Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid Preview

Barcelona host Atlético Madrid at the Spotify Camp Nou on Tuesday evening in what promises to be a compelling La Liga encounter between two sides in contrasting form. The Catalan giants secured a 3-1 home victory over Alavés in their most recent outing, maintaining their strong domestic form. Prior to that result, they suffered a 3-0 defeat at Chelsea in the Champions League, though they had previously recorded back-to-back wins with a 4-0 thrashing of Athletic Club at home and an impressive 4-2 victory at Celta Vigo. Earlier in this sequence, they drew 3-3 away at Club Brugge in European competition.

Atlético Madrid arrive at the Camp Nou in exceptional form, having won all five of their last matches across all competitions. Their most recent outing saw them claim a 2-0 victory at Real Oviedo, extending their perfect run. In their previous match, they secured a 2-1 Champions League win against Internazionale, while before that they beat Getafe 1-0 away in La Liga. Earlier in this sequence, they recorded a 3-1 home victory over Levante and a 3-1 Champions League success against Union St.-Gilloise.

Most recently, Barcelona claimed a 1-0 away win in April 2025, while they also secured a commanding 4-2 away victory in March 2025.
