We haven’t seen a lot of high-scoring games between Barca and Atletico lately, as they have gone over this total only once in their last nine matches, averaging 1.77 goals per game. Los Colchoneros have had three goals or less in 11 of their last 14 games. They also have by far the best defense in La Liga, having conceded only 16 goals in 25 matches, so this could very well be another tight game.

Robert Lewandowski didn’t perform that well in the last game against Las Palmas, but he managed to score six goals in his last seven starts for Barca. The Polish striker is still on top of the La Liga 24/25 top scorers list with 20 goals. Lewandowski has three goals and two assists against Atletico in his career, and he is also Barca’s main penalty taker, which is a privilege that increases his scoring chances.
The Blaugrana are in better form right now, especially at home, so they should take the lead before going to Atleti’s stadium. Make sure you use our 2025 Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid betting predictions and bet them at the legal bookies in Spain to have more fun watching the game.
