Atletico Madrid v Barcelona Betting Tips [2 April 2025]

Atletico Madrid have all to play for when they host Barcelona in their Copa Del Rey return leg. Ahead of this match, these two sides are tied at 4-4 from the first leg. We have a prediction as the two face off for a third time in recent weeks.

Atletico are coming from a 1-1 draw with Espanyol in La Liga. A penalty conceded with 19 minutes to go denied Atletico a second win in five matches.

Even that single win had an anti-climax all over it, as they fell on post-match penalties against Real Madrid. Three wins only in their last 10 matches mean Atletico, despite playing at home, arrive here as underdogs.

Barcelona come into this game determined to avoid the capitulation that saw them lose a 4-2 lead in the first leg. That draw at home remains the only time they failed to win in their last 12 matches.

They are coming off a 4-1 league win against Girona, their second straight win at home. With that win also, Barcelona set a 20-match unbeaten run across all competitions.

The last team to beat them was Atletico Madrid back in December 2024. Apart from this lengthy unbeaten run, which has 17 wins, Barca have also been great in attack.

In the last five matches alone, they scored 15 goals, four of them against Atletico.

Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have played some epic encounters in 2024/25. This match marks the fourth meeting between them this season. The one Atletico won, was Barcelona’s last defeat. It happened in December and Barcelona got their revenge in March. 

In between the teams drew 4-4 and the outstanding stat is that all these matches yielded three or more goals. We expect another spectacle here as they clash for the third time in about a month. Our prediction for the Atletico Madrid v Barcelona match is for the game to have over 2.5 goals.
