ℹ️ Team News: Barcelona

It looks as if Barça may well make use of the 4-2-3-1 formation for this one featuring Joan Garcia, Eric Garcia, Pau Cubarsi, Gerard Martin, Joao Cancelo, Dani Olmo, Pedri, Lamine Yamal, Fermin Lopez, Marcus Rashford and Robert Lewandowski.

🗞️ Team News: Atlético Madrid

We are inclined to think that Atleti might play in a 4-4-2 system by sending out Jan Oblak, Nahuel Molina, Robin Le Normand, David Hancko, Matteo Ruggeri, Giuliano Simeone, Marcos Llorente, Koke, Ademola Lookman, Antoine Griezmann and Julian Alvarez.

🔮 Prediction

Our assessment is that Barcelona will most probably be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.

At the same time, Atlético Madrid could well struggle to get shooting opportunities although we do reckon that they could well end up managing to get on the scoresheet, too.

We reckon that it will be a comfortable 3-1 winning score for Barcelona come full-time.
