Best Bet: Barcelona to win @ 1/1
Atletico Madrid have been strong at home this season but there are reasons to suggest Barca can end their six-game unbeaten run at the Metropolitano Stadium in La Liga.
Hansi Flick’s side have been excellent away from the comforts of Camp Nou in the league this season.

Alternative Bet: Correct Score - 1-2 @ 17/2
Coming away from the Metropolitano Stadium with victories in those last two visits, both of those high-pressure encounters ended in 2-1 victories to the visitors.
