Barcelona will be the favourites to win this match based on recent form and statistics. Although statistics won't have much impact, Barcelona's recent form has been excellent which makes them even stronger to win against Atletico Madrid. We have always seen Barcelona dominate in the Copa del Rey and especially when they are playing against Atletico Madrid, their margin of victory will definitely be heavy. Barcelona might win the match by 2 goals in Leg 1.
Since this is an important match like a semi-final, we want Barcelona to be able to snatch victory from their opponents today. In my opinion Barcelona should try to take full advantage of their home ground in this match.
Atletico's first challenge is to beat Barcelona in the first leg of the Copa del Rey which will be played soon. Actually, Atletico has good capital in this match because this season they managed to beat Barcelona at home in the last meeting in La Liga. At that time Barcelona was defeated with an epic victory with a very spectacular comeback.
So I see Atletico Madrid facing this match also with high confidence, although Barcelona in this match is also in a good trend momentum so that they are favored. Because their chances of beating Atletico at home are believed to be quite open, but even so if my prediction is that victory may not be easily obtained.
Barcelona and Atletico have already made it to the 1/8 UCL... Both teams are at the top of the standings in La Liga, with a few points difference... Both teams have a huge amount of experience in head-to-head encounters... But Atletico have long been unlucky in the Spanish Cup when they come to Barcelona... I'm not a Barcelona fan, but today is the moment when the stats are not on Atletico's side... I'm not going to guess who will win today... I think that the bet that there will be more than 10.5 corners with odds of 2.35 is very attractive...
