Copa del Rey
Atletico's last hope for any trophy is this tournament. Before the break, they were eliminated from the Champions League, and after three consecutive mistakes in La Liga, it can be said that the title is already far away. Lately Atletico is conceding more goals, although they are also scoring, and this is evident in their matches against Barcelona as well. However, Atletico couldn't hold on to a two-goal lead against Barca again, after leading 2-0 at home in their championship match, but eventually lost 2-4. It remains to be seen whether this time Simeone and company have found a solution to this defensive problem.
While Atletico lost its shine, Barcelona continues to be in top form and score many goals. Since losing 1-2 at home to Atletico in December, they have been unbeaten in 20 consecutive matches in all competitions. They have also won their last six away matches, as well as their last three away games against Atletico.
Prediction: Both teams to scoreGiven the recent performances of both teams, Barcelona looks like the more likely winner again. Atletico, on the other hand, must make maximum efforts and try to reach a potential trophy during the season. The easiest choice, however, seems to be to see goals in both nets again.
