Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid Preview: Barcelona has bounced back from that surprise 2-1 defeat against Alaves in prime fashion having scored 12 goals in two matches. Trio of Messi, Neymar and Suarez has been finding the net regularly and they will be confident of a better showing against Atletico who knocked them out from the Champions League last season. Atletico themselves has turned things around after their two back to back draws in the opening two games and now they are a on a three game winning streak but only conceded 1 goal so far.

Match Predictions: looking at the recent history between the two sides one can only see Barcelona win who have been extremely dominant over Atletico having won 7 of the last 8 meetings between the two but Atletico did knockout Barcelona from Champions League thanks to 2-0 win at Vincente Calderon in their most recent meeting. This Barcelona side has goals in them but unfortunately on both sides. I feel, Atletico’s defense will come good against Barcelona and they will take advantage of Barcelona’s shaky defense to nick a goal. I am going with a 1-0 win for Atletico in this one.

An eventful first half saw Atletico go in front when Torres finished off a superb counter attacking move with a nice finish from edge of the box. Barcelona dominated possesion and failed to convert chances came there way. Atletico Madrid however made lives difficult for them when Fernando Torrest was sent off just 10 minutes after scoring the goal. His received his marching orders after second yellow card inside 5 minutes. Credit to Atletico as they hanged in there for best part of hour but an scrappy goal from Suarez brought Barcelona back in the game.
