Atletico and Barcelona will face each other in the week 16 of the 2022-23 La Liga which will be broadcast live streaming on Sunday, January 08, 2023 at Cívitas Metropolitano Stadium, Madrid. Barcelona has the opportunity to strengthen its position at the top of the standings and stay away from Real Madrid’s pursuit if it is able to bring home full points when visiting Atletico Madrid this weekend.
Atletico Madrid is expected to continue the winning streak it has recorded in the last five matches, including one test match. The 2-0 victory over Elche at the end of last year was also a sign of Atletico’s revival after only managing to gain one point in the previous three league matches.
Even though they are still in fourth place in the standings, Los Colchoneros must be wary of the pursuit of Athletic Club and Real Betis, which are below them by only two points. Especially considering that this weekend Atletico must host another giant club, Barcelona.
Diego Simeone’s personal record, which on average only won 16% of matches against Barcelona in various competitions, certainly haunted his team ahead of hosting Barca. It’s just that Atletico’s success in collecting three wins out of the last six competitive matches against Barca should have increased the optimism of the host side.
Barcelona’s performance in the last Copa del Rey match against Intercity also still feels a bit lacking. Despite the win, the Blaugrana needed extra time to beat the third division club through the actions of Ansu Fati who took advantage of a bait from Raphinha.
In the last league match, Robert Lewandowski and his partners were forced to share points after a 1-1 draw with Espanyol. This is the third time Barca have dropped full points since the start of the season, which allowed Real Madrid to equalize on points from the runners-up position.
Real Madrid’s defeat this week seemed to be a gift at the beginning of the year for Barca. Therefore, Xavi’s team must make the most of this opportunity in order to widen the gap with their true rivals.
Of course Barcelona can capitalize on their stellar record on the road this season with six wins out of seven league visits. Just keep in mind, the only away defeat suffered by Barca was during a visit to Madrid in mid-October which ended in a 3-1 victory for Real Madrid.
