Atletico Madrid v Barcelona Prediction and Free Betting Tips

Atletico Madrid and Barcelona go head to head in the first leg of this season’s Spanish Super Cup on Wednesday and we have the best free betting tips for the match.

Barcelona got off to the best possible start to the La Liga season with a 7-0 demolition of Levante at the weekend but we predict Atletico Madrid to prove much tougher opposition even without the now departed Falcao.

It is fair to say Barca will not be racing into a 6-0 half time lead this time around against last season’s closest challengers to themselves and Real Madrid. Atletico also got off to a strong start at the weekend with a 3-1 success at Sevilla and it was Diego Costa who was the hero with two goals. David Villa also started and the former Barcelona man would certainly love to get on the scoresheet at Vicente Calderon on Wednesday.

Despite being away from home Barcelona are still favourites in the latest betting odds for the Super Cup first leg at a best price 8/11 (Ladbrokes). The draw is 3/1 at Sky Bet and Atletico are 4/1 at Winner.

Neymar was left on the bench for Barcelona at the weekend but it likely to start on Wednesday, he is 4/1 (William Hill) to score first and Evens to score in the match.

After the departure of Falcao to Monaco Diego Costa is the man Atletico will look to take on the mantle of ‘star man’ and he is 10/3 (Coral) to score anytime in the first leg, a bet well worth taking despite the fact Barcelona should win. On that note, you can get 19/5 on Diego Costa scoring but Barcelona winning the match at Hills.

In the last three meetings between these sides both teams have scored so expect Atleti to at least get on the score sheet and that brings into play William Hill’s ‘both teams to score and match result’ coupon. We like the look of Barcelona to win and both teams to score at 9/4.
