Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid Prediction & Picks - LaLiga

 by Bradley Gibbs | in LaLiga Picks

The final game taking place in the Spanish top division on Saturday sees giants Barcelona welcome Atletico Madrid to their temporary home of Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys. Following what was a shock home defeat to Leganes last weekend, the hosts will be desperate to bounce back, thus sending themselves into the Christmas break off the back of a positive result. They're also desperate to ensure that they go into the break as league leaders. Looking to stop that from happening are the visitors, who right now, sit behind Saturday's hosts on goal difference alone. A win for Diego Simeone's men would see them head into the mid-season rest period as the table toppers, so there's certianly plenty at stake.

Our Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid Prediction

In the betting, it's hard to resist taking Atletico's Julian Alvarez to work the Barca keeper at least once, especially with generous-looking odds of -110 on offer. Since his summer switch from Manchester City, the Argentine forward has become a key cog in the well-oiled Diego Simeone machine, scoring several important goals. The World Cup winner has looked as hungry as ever in recent week, firing off regular shots, testing the keeper in all but one of his last six appearances. Against a Barcelona side that will give chances away on the break, Alvarez is well worth betting to shoot on target at least once. Our Pick: Julian Alvarez Over 0.5 Shots on Target.
