Betting Preview
Barcelona still top LaLiga after 14 matches, even if they haven’t hit last season’s heights. Hansi Flick has overseen 11 wins (D1, L2), and Barça have now won four straight in the league since their late-October loss to Real Madrid. A chaotic start against Alaves on Saturday saw them concede inside 43 seconds, their fastest goal conceded in two years, before responding in familiar fashion. Lamine Yamal sparked the recovery, and Dani Olmo sealed it with a brace in a 3-1 win. The result extended Barcelona’s dominance over Deportivo Alaves to 16 unbeaten meetings.

Injuries and fixture congestion have tested Atletico Madrid this season, but they’re surging again. After a stuttering first eight league games (W3, D4, L1), Diego Simeone has engineered a stunning turnaround. Atletico have won their last seven matches in all competitions, including six straight in LaLiga, and a dramatic 2-1 UCL win last Wednesday over Inter Milan kept the momentum rolling. A 2-0 league win away to Real Oviedo followed, powered by Alexander Sorloth’s first-half double.
