High-odds football betting predictions this weekend
Atletico Madrid faces Barcelona at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano in the big derby of La Liga’s 28th round. Keep up with us because we will provide you with these High-odds football betting predictions this weekend.
The title race in La Liga looks absolutely intense at the moment. Barca are leaders with 57 points, but just one point ahead of the Atletico. For Los Colchoneros this is a great opportunity to overtake Barcelona and move ahead of them in the standings.
Atletico have to recover from the intense match against Real Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday. Simeone’s team played 120 minutes against Los Blancos, so now Simeone have to make some adjustments in the line-up. Rodrigo De Paul will miss the game because of an injury while some players could be rested. This means that Samuel Lino, Robin Le Normand, Rodrigo Riquelme and Javi Galan could return in the starting eleven. Meanwhile Angel Correa is suspended and can’t play as well.
Barcelona also had a game in the Champions League during the week, but their match against Benfica was much easier. And the Catalans played just 90 minutes compared to Atletico’s 120.
Barca’s head coach Hansi Flick will put his best possible team on the pitch. It means that the same line-up from Benfica could play at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano. Frenkie de Jong, Pedri and Dani Olmo should be in midfield while Pau Cubarsi have to return in defense. The biggest threat in Barcelona’s team remains the big three upfront – Raphinha, Yamal and Lewandowski.
Flick’s only dilemma is who to pick between Dani Olmo and Gavi. He played Olmo against Benfica, but this time Gavi could get his chance.
That’s the High-odds football betting predictions this weekend for the La Liga derby between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona. The Catalans shall be fresher than their opponent, but let’s see.
