Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid
Cup games often suit Atletico Madrid as they can stifle & frustrate their opponents and play on their favoured counter-attacking philosophy. This was often a successful tactic against a typical Barcelona side who were fantastic going forward, but vulnerable at the back. However, this season has seen them concede just 9 goals in La Liga so far. A fantastic statistic which the Catalan club can be proud of. Cup games can often yield surprising results, I expect this game to be extremely tight with Barcelona dominating possession. However, I expect Diego Simeone to come away from this fixture with a draw with it all to play for in Madrid.
