Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona prediction and match preview

Atletico Madrid remain the only unbeaten team in LaLiga this season. Diego Simeone's men are currently third in the LaLiga standings with 17 points from their seven games played so far. Los Rojiblancos registered a comfortable 4-0 win against Cadiz prior to the international break and are only three points behind league leaders Real Sociedad with two games in hand. 

The fact that Barcelona and Real Madrid have had rather stuttering starts to the new season has provided Atletico Madrid with the opportunity to land their first LaLiga title since the 2013-14 season. Simeone's side also have the meanest defence in the league, having conceded only two goals so far, but they will face one of the most challenging tests when Barcelona visit the capital on Saturday.

Ronald Koeman's Barcelona have slowly but surely seen momentum slip away following a bright start under the Dutchman's management. The Blaugrana are currently in eighth place on the LaLiga table with 11 points from seven games. Just before the international break, Barcelona made light work of Real Betis, but it was only their first win in five league games. 

Despite Barcelona struggling with issues on and off the pitch, our prediction for the game is a 2-1 win for the Catalan giants.
