THE PREDICTION

This match should be between two sides going for the title and one of the biggest matches in Spain. Well, it remains the latter of those two but both sides have serious issues to iron out in order to mount a title challenge. The reigning champions of Atletico Madrid are being forced to evolve their style with the signing of new attacking players. They come up against a Barcelona side that, under Ronald Koeman, remain without attacking cohesion and look a generally confused side. Given that, a low-scoring match, with little in the way of attacking patterns of play, looks a likely outcome for this one.
