Bar7a and Atletico get this thrilling Champions League quarter-final underway at the home of the Catalans. Barcelona have never knocked out Atletico in Europe’s top competition, and their recent cup exit at the hands of the Madrid side serves as a warning ahead of this penultimate European round. Simeone’s men will be looking to spring a surprise, but there’s no doubt their main aim is to secure a result that allows them to finish the job at the Metropolitano, where they are a formidable force.

Atletico showed last season that they are more than capable of winning at the Camp Nou, but Flick’s side have been extremely reliable at home this campaign. We expect a more attacking approach from the Catalans as they look to take an advantage into the return leg, and given that they have won every home game this season except against PSG, we’re backing them to make the most of playing at the Spotify Camp Nou, where they have only recorded victories since returning several months ago.

Matches between these two sides are usually packed with action in both boxes. Since Flick took charge at Bar7a, seven of the last eight meetings between these teams have seen three or more goals, including all four played in Barcelona. That trend has also appeared in all of Bar7a’s European games this season, and in seven of Atletico’s eight matches. 90% of Barcelona’s official home games (whether at the Johan Cruyff, MontjuFc or Camp Nou) have also featured over 2.5 goals.
