Match preview: Atletico vs Barcelona

Atletico and Barcelona face off at the Riyadh Air Metropolitan, in a second-leg encounter for the semifinals of the Copa del Rey, following a thrilling 4-4 draw in the first leg. Historical data at this stadium indicates the away side has an advantage, with Barcelona winning 3 out of the last 5 encounters here and losing only 2. In their last visit to this ground during a La Liga match on 16th March 2025, FC Barcelona secured a 4-2 victory, characterised by goals from Alexander Sørloth (70’) and Julián Álvarez (45’) for Atletico, while Ferran Torres (90’ and 78’), Robert Lewandowski (72’), and Lamine Yamal (90’) scored for Barcelona. Home advantage may play a significant role, given Barcelona’s differential performance as hosts compared to when they play away.

Team analysis: Atletico

Atletico appears minimally affected by home ground advantage, as their results are similar at home and away; over the last 30 matches, they have achieved 9 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses away from home, scoring 37 goals and conceding 14, while at home, they recorded 11 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses, with 29 goals scored and 15 conceded. In their most recent match, they drew 1-1 against Espanyol in La Liga. Over the last 10 home matches, Atletico has recorded 6 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats.

In this competition, they have successfully avoided defeat in their last 6 fixtures. Their attack has been fruitful, scoring at least once in each of their last 6 matches. In 15 fixtures, they conceded the opening goal 4 times, managing to turn it around only once. From their last 20 home games across all competitions, it’s noteworthy that they netted 15 of their 35 goals between the 76th and 90th minutes.

Atletico Madrid comes into this match after a 1-1 draw away at the Espanyol ground in a La Liga contest, notably drawing four goals against Barcelona in the semifinals of the Copa del Rey. The home side typically employs a 4-4-2 formation, leaning towards a conservative style while concentrating their attack down the centre. The strike partnership will feature Julián Álvarez and Antoine Griezmann, with Rodrigo de Paul directing the team’s play. The right flank, particularly with Marcos Llorente’s speed and skill, is often exploited to create excellent goal-scoring opportunities. All players are available for selection in this fixture.

Team analysis: Barcelona

Barcelona, intriguingly, has performed better on the road than at home. In their last 30 encounters, they have achieved 11 wins, 3 draws, and just 1 loss in away matches, compared to 10 wins, 2 draws, and 3 defeats in their home stadium. They enter this match on the back of a resounding 4-1 home victory against Girona. Over the last 10 contests across all competitions, Barcelona has secured 9 wins and drawn once. Their attack has been consistently impressive, netting at least once in their last 4 contests in this competition. When playing away, their matches are often high-scoring; in fact, 28 of their last 31 encounters concluded with over 1.5 goals, with 24 of them exceeding 2.5 goals. This side frequently opens the scoring: they achieved this in 12 of their last 15 games, with 7 holding the lead at half-time and 11 maintaining that advantage until the final whistle.

Barcelona heads into this match fresh from a 4-1 triumph over Girona at home during a La Liga fixture. It is important to mention that the Catalans drew 4-4 with Atletico Madrid in the semifinals of the Copa del Rey. The travelling team usually adopts a 4-3-3 tactical formation, with Robert Lewandowski being the focal point of their attack. In midfield, Pedri plays a crucial role in orchestrating the match and linking the various sections of the team. Offensively, the right flank is often targeted, largely due to Jules Koundé’s speed and technical prowess, which creates constant scoring threats. However, they will be without Andreas Christensen, Dani Olmo, Marc Bernal, Marc Casadó, and Marc-André Ter Stegen, all sidelined due to injury concerns.
