Atletico Madrid – La Liga Form and Betting Odds

• Atlético Madrid have won seven consecutive La Liga matches, leaving Diego Simeone’s side second in the table with 28 points from their opening 11 fixtures (W9, D1, L1). However, Tuesday’s 2-0 Champions League defeat against Bayern Munich brought an end to their recent winning momentum across all competitions.
• Defensive performances have been a major strength for Atlético, who have conceded just eight league goals this season, the fewest in La Liga. The hosts are also unbeaten in five home league fixtures (W4, D1), shipping just three goals at the Metropolitano.
• Atlético eliminated Barcelona from last season’s Champions League quarter-finals, although they haven’t beaten the Catalan giants in La Liga since December 2024. Simeone’s side will be hoping to end that run on Sunday, with William Hill offering 5/2 for a home victory.

FC Barcelona – La Liga Form and Betting Odds

• Barcelona remain top of La Liga after winning ten of their opening 11 league matches, collecting 30 points under Hansi Flick. The defending champions have also recovered from their recent El Clásico defeat, following a convincing 6-1 victory over Alavés with a 3-0 Champions League success against Aston Villa on Tuesday.
• Goals certainly haven’t been in short supply for Barcelona, who have scored an incredible 46 times in just 11 league matches, averaging over four goals per fixture. Furthermore, ten of those encounters have produced over 2.5 goals, suggesting another entertaining meeting could be on the cards.
• The visitors have won all five of their La Liga away fixtures this season, scoring 22 goals during that run. Barcelona also remain unbeaten on their league travels to Atlético since October 2021, with William Hill pricing the league leaders at 5/6 to secure another important victory.
