Prediction for Barcelona – Atletico Madrid
Over 2.5 goals @ 2.20
Return leg of the Copa del Rey Semifinals against Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.
Bet on “Over 2.5 goals”.
The Barcelona goes with a clear marker in favor for the return. The 1-2 of the first leg, complicates much to an Atlético that takes time without doing a good game in the 90 matches of minutes. He has become a team of flashes, with a great dependence on the good moments of Griezman (who lately are scarce). However, he has shown that he has very committed players, such as Fernando Torres, who despite the age still stands out even above players who, a priori, should be better. Barcelona have also become a team of arreones (they have penalized much the lows so important that has in the center of the field), however, the high quality of the above, have helped to get a good run of results. Without making a big game, they continue winning with forcefulness. The problem is that he constantly gives the impression that if his rival was a superior team, he could have suffered much more and even lose some game (against Betis it is true that he must have won, but the constant feeling during the match was quite another ).
That is to say, we found a brilliant Barcelona in attack, but with deficiencies in the game, getting to be clearly dominated during parts of the party.
Atletico Madrid showed during the first leg that it is capable of giving war to this Barcelona. Although it is very difficult to come back, there is no doubt that they will go all out and will fight to be able to score that goal (go 0-0 or 1-0) that can make the Barcelona players nervous. It is true that Atlético’s season is not about scoring many goals (1.71 goals per game and 7 went to Granada, without that game the average would be 1.45 goals, although it is true that since Cholo is not Is that it was a very scoring team, the difference is that both at the beginning of the season and last seasons, I barely conceded goals) but I would be very strange that, considering that Barcelona does not shine when it has to defend itself, Capable of scoring at least one goal.
Direct matches between Barcelona – Atletico Madrid
Both in the league (in the Camp Nou match that was 1-1) and in the first leg, which finished 1-2, Atletico Madrid scored a goal (this being the most “dangerous” part of the bet). In league and being the Camp Nou, they settled for the draw, however, could not do the same in this match, so I hope an Atletico Madrid will not give up. This is what will open the door for both teams to score more goals. Luis Enrique does not seem to go out to speculate and Atletico Madrid certainly can not afford to be the whole party speculating.
Stake 2.5. Luis Enrique has reserved to Suarez and gave rest to Messi, knowing perfectly what is played. He does not want surprises and therefore reserves his two killers (Neymar will not be able to play by sanction) to avoid any setback – without obviating that both produce a great amount of goals with assists, displacing to the centers, etc. -.
Cholo is true that he has not reserved anybody. Carrasco came out in the second half but the reality is that it takes time to a low level. This part can be dangerous if the final minutes are close and Atletico Madrid has not scored the goal we need for their part as a minimum.
Personally I hope the Barcelona 2-3 goals and Atletico Madrid 1-2 goals. The big problem may be that Barcelona will be 2-0. This would be a tremendous moral blow for Atletico’s players, who would probably drop their arms and not seek the goal with so much zeal. If it happens before the break 2-0, the Cholo could be a key factor to encourage their players and prevent them from lowering their arms (not looking for the goal), but all this is already very elucubrar.
The key points are, the need for Atletico to know that can only happen if they score at least 2 goals, and that Barcelona does not need a great game to score goals, also having terrible downturns of play, due largely to downtown lows Of the field.
For Iniesta and Busquet, maybe they would be so fair that I doubt that Luis Enrique will play, so it is expected that both teams will have the same players (with the exception of Neymar).
