Barcelona will have revenge on their minds when they welcome Diego Simeone and his Atletico Madrid team to the Olympic Stadium for this Copa Del Rey semi-final first leg showdown, after falling to a stoppage time Alexander Sorloth goal when both teams last met in the league back in December.
Since then, Atletico Madrid’s winning streak has ended and Barcelona have stormed their way to the top of La Liga and into the Copa Del Rey last four, where Rojiblancos stand in their way and a place in the final.
Match Odds
Prediction
Atletico’s win at Barca in December ended a five-game losing streak and run of four games without scoring against the Catalans. But Barcelona are favourites for this one going by the odds and we have our money on a home win for this first leg match.
