Barcelona Are Looking For Another Remontada When They Take On Atletico Madrid In The Champions League
Metropolitano | Champions League QF 2nd Leg (2-0) | Tuesday April 14 | 8pm
Could another famous Champions League comeback be on the cards? BetVictor News provides the Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona prediction, preview, H2H record, team news, betting tips and latest odds ahead of Tuesday’s titanic quarter-final 2nd leg.
Atletico Madrid Vs Barcelona Preview
Even though the Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona odds favour a win for Hansi Flick’s side, it’s Atleti that hold a crucial 2-0 quarter-final 1st leg lead against the Catalan giants. Therefore, it would take a herculean effort for Barca to progress.
But it’s not the first time they would have saved their Champions League bacon from a losing position. In the 2016-17 UCL season, the world-famous Remuntada occurred when the Blaugrana stunned PSG with a 6-1 win in the R16 2nd leg. Barca were trailing 4-0 from the reverse fixture in Paris.
However, Diego Simeone and his charges will be more than aware of what their visitors will be trying to accomplish. Atleti’s victory last week was made all the more possible when Pau Cubarsi was given his marching orders with the score still 0-0.
On the cusp of half-time, a stunning Julian Alvarez free-kick flew home before former Crystal Palace flop Alexander Sorloth put some gloss on the scoreline. That victory has seen Los Rojiblancos Champions League outright winner odds drop from 16/1 to 10/1.
Atletico Madrid Vs Barcelona H2H Record
Although the overall Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona H2H record sits firmly in the latters favour, it’s Atleti who hold a clear advantage in the Champions League. Which is something worth considering when it comes to Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona betting on Tuesday night.
Of their five previous H2H clashes in Europe’s elite club competition, Los Rojiblancos have only lost once to their LaLiga rivals. To date, Atleti have won three times and drawn the other. Naturally, they’ll be hoping to extend their strong record at the Metropolitano on April 14.

Atletico Madrid Vs Barcelona Team News
The 2-0 victory last week did come at a small cost to Atletico Madrid. Defender David Hancko suffered an ankle injury and was subbed off for Marc Pubill. The Spaniard will have to sit on the naughty step having picked up a yellow card, thus leading to a suspension.
Legendary goalkeeper Jan Oblak is rated 50/50 and the likes of Jose Gimenez , Johnny Cardoso and Pablo Barrios are all rated doubtful. Elsewhere, Ademola Lookman, Antoine Griezmann and Julian Alvarez are all in line to start in attack.
As for Barcelona, they will once again be missing Raphinha and Andreas Christensen. Doubts surround the fitness of Gerard Martin and Marc Bernal. Pau Cubarsi will have to miss the trip to Madrid owing to his red card in the first-leg.

Top Betting Angles for Atletico Madrid Vs Barcelona
BTTS: Owing to the magnitude of the game, it looks plausable. Barca have conceded in their last 14 UCL games whereas nine of Atletico Madrid’s last ten UCL games has seen both teams score. On-site at 3/10.
Over 3.5 goals: A flurry of goals offers value. Barcelona simply have to score (at least twice) whereas Atletico Madrid have scored in three of the last four H2H meetings in all comps. Currently 5/6.
1st goalscorer: The usual suspects such as Robert Lewandowski (9/2), Lamine Yamal (5/1), Julian Alvarez (13/2) and Antoine Griezmann (5/1) all carry weight.
Atletico Madrid Vs Barcelona Prediction
Having rested a number of their top stars in the 2-1 loss to Sevilla on the weekend, Atletico Madrid will be well prepared for the expected Barcelona onslaught. Attack will perhaps be their best form of defence and an exciting and thrilling spectacle beckons.
Barca will try and throw the kitchin sink at Atleti which Diego Simeone will almost certainly be expecting. We are going to sit on the fence at the Metropolitano and call a score draw, therefore meaning Los Rojiblancos progress to the semi-final to face Arsenal or Sporting.
